...........no kidding about travel!

..........I have cut down all my flying to bare essentials. Primarily that’s my annual trip to Alaska and absolute musts like weddings and funerals. The Germanwings thing being the last straw.

Re going to a public restroom for the guys (GI’s)in Japan was really no big deal but frequently too you would encounter a mama-san squatting over a floor level toilet! I never hung around long enough to see if she was performing #1 or # 2.

Notwithstanding

I don’t ‘travel,’ but I also fly to occasional weddings, etc.
Kind of funny, tho, because I LOVE to fly. I absolutely love flying!
I had the pleasure of using my ‘rewards’ to fly myself, a daughter, and her 2 teens this past Oct., to a wedding in CO.

Funny story: That flight in Oct., we passengers boarded the plane in Burbank, CA via two ramps - walking towards the nose of the plane - rather than walking a jetway, or stairs. My 17 year old grandson was about 9 yards behind me, dragging his luggage.
The cockpit was open so I shouted to the captain. ‘We have (at least) 2 first-time fliers this morning!’ Pointing at the grandson.

Captain shouted back: ‘it’s my first time, TOO!’
That’s Southwest for ya!

The crash into the Alps does not deter me one bit.
