We used to fly because we wanted to fly.

Now, we fly because we have to fly to save time.

In our youth, vacation began when we got to the airport.

Now, the airport, and flight, are things to be endured until we reach our vacation destination.

Thankfully, I never had to travel too much for my employer.

That really sums it up about perfectly. I remember as a kid sitting by the gate watching the airplanes land while waiting for Busha's flight to land. Nowadays the non-secure waiting areas don't even have windows to watch the planes..
