One year with Taking Flight!

[Agne]

I was cleaning my mailbox today when I found the Taking Flight welcome email, it was still there ! The date is April the 21st, 2005. That means that last friday was my TF birthday! :)
I had ten flights since then (including return flights), four of them trans-atlantic.
I remember I was so pleased by the warm welcome I received that - although it took me one hour to write the first post - I felt I could talk about my fear of flying without being embarassed, for the first time!
You will notice by the number of posts that I love this place (or maybe that I talk too much). This site helped me tremendously and I'm finally able to do what I like -travelling- with pleasure (I've not completely overcome the fear, but I'm doing great compared to last year).
Also, I found great people here. I had posted on other forums before (also no FoF related) but I've never found such a great group of friends!
A big THANK YOU to you all !!!!:thumbsup:

Yes, THANK YOU for all the encouragement and insight you share, Agne! The insights you give us into Italian life are so interesting, too. Most of all, you have such great empathy and care for everyone who struggles with flying.

Agne... You are a great part of Taking Flight. It is a Happy Birthday for us too!

Happy Anniversary, Agne,

I've enjoyed your posts and photos so much, and it's been wonderful to have your Italian perspective!:) (I traveled in Italy years ago, (including on a moped), and have many fond memories of the country and people!)

Only a year, yet think how much help you've provided to others - and how happily you've been able to fly so much of the time. Isn't it amazing?

You are such a big part of this wonderful group. I enjoy your posts and your cheerful attitude. I especially appreciate your sharing experiences of overseas flight...and 747s. :)

Thank you for your kind words, I'm blushing :blush: :blush:

I'm really looking forward to my next trip to the US. Another overseas flight! (and Angela, another 747!) One year ago I thought it wouldn't be possible.
