Narrative:

VFR flight following to everett, wa, to richland, wa. Original intent was to fly IFR, but no current charts and great WX made me fly without flight plan. After final vector and cleared to change frequency, I flew to the wrong airport. Due to my anxiety I was using wrong frequency to talk with tower. After I realized I flew into their airspace, I did break off the approach once I knew it was a controled field and I wasn't talking to the tower.
