A bit of an odd one

My biggest fear that I can think of (mind you, I'm scared of a lot of things) is flying over the ocean. Weird huh? Still understandable though, I hope. The troubling part of this is that I love travelling. Travelling around the world is on my to-do list, so this is a minor set-back. I usually love flying, but as soon as we start to head over the ocean, it's sort of petrifying. The idea of crashing into the sea and being stranded there is just terrifying to me. Something that might have a bit to do with it is that I'm not the best swimmer. So you could imagine how it would frighten me to crash into an ocean I can't even swim in. Sure, there are those little floaty thingys that they say your seat turns into, but I'd probably be having a heart attack before I could pull that out. When I do have to fly over the ocean (because apparently they haven't built roads across the ocean yet? Crazy) I end up either sleeping the whole time, waking up every now and then only to find out it isn't over yet, or watching movies to take my mind off of it. The latter doesn't always work...this summer I had a flight from Tokyo to Detroit, and the plane didn't even have the little TV's. It was so disappointing.
