How can I break this?
May I suggest you contact a flight school and arrange for a Discovery Flight? You'll be right up front and have a chance to see how everything works and get the opportunity to fly the aircraft yourself.

Perhaps try to arrange it during the winter, as it tends to be smoother for flying than in the summer. Then again, bumping around in a little Cessna may just show you how turbulence isn't a big deal at all.
