Are you excited about your trip next month ?   Yes and no . I can ' t wait to go to Europe , but at the same time I am terrified .   Why ?   Well , I have acrophobia . I have a chronic fear of flying .   Oh really ? I have an uncle who is also terrified of flying . It ' s not that bad though , I mean , it is pretty scary to be in this big machine flying through the air at seven hundred miles per hour . I actually have arachnophobia .
