    My SIL moved to Hawaii which I always wanted to see, but the thought of flying is just too repellant.

    Thought that if I ever flew again it would be to give support to DB1 in the event of a funeral (if he lost his wife or inlaws) but now he avoids me so I don't expect I would burden him with my presence.

    I don’t enjoy flying but it’s the only way to get to where I want to go quickly and I won’t leave my dogs for more than 2 weeks. Coming home from Ireland I was offered the opportunity to upgrade both flights to economy plus for 145 total. What a difference a foot of leg/seat room makes. It was so comfortable!

    I enjoy traveling - including international. Was never really able to do much of it in my younger days (some, but not what I consider a lot). Now, I am ready and willing to travel - domestic and international - when the appropriate circumstances arise.

    I was just reminded of this YouTube clip with Louis CK on the Conan O'Brien show. I have always loved this clip. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, if you jump to 2:38, you'll get to the part most relevant for this thread. It's about people who take things for granted--in this case technology.

    Unfortunately, I’m flying in December to go back to MX for a week of cave diving. No way am I going Southworst this time. I paid $1073 for a business class ticket on AA. That is only $300 more than my cattle class ticket on Southworst in August (ticket bought in May). I’ll have more room and be at the front of the plane. Hope it’ll be a slightly better experience. Applied for global entry, but may not be able to get an interview before I go.
