Here's an interesting article on yahoo http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060504/ap_on_he_me/science_of_dread;_ylt=Atp7wzoBvZf2a_xQUtEKsTCs0NUE ;_ylu=X3oDMTA3b2NibDltBHNlYwM3MTY- (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060504/ap_on_he_me/science_of_dread;_ylt=Atp7wzoBvZf2a_xQUtEKsTCs0NUE ;_ylu=X3oDMTA3b2NibDltBHNlYwM3MTY)- (hope the link works!). The article is about pain and how sometimes the anticipation of pain is worse, but I think it can be applied to FoF as well. It makes sense if you consider the "postponing anxiety" trick. It makes the actual flight much worse when you spend months before dreading it.
