Hi everyone! A friend has bought me a hot air balloon experience as a birthday present. She will be disappointed if I don't go but I understand the flight lasts about two hours and there's at least an hours drive to get to the airfield. She doesn't know I'm terrified of finding I desperately need to wee, either before or during the flight. I expect there will be toilets at the airfield but I understand they sometimes launch from green field sites where there are no loos, besides, I know I wouldn't be able to use a loo there, even assuming there is one. What am I to do? I could say I'm scared of heights but feel she deserves to know the real reason, but I can't bring myself to tell her. Help!
