I have 0 interest in flying commercial and hope I never need to.

I used to fly rarely before 9/11 but not at all since then.

Next week I leave on a cross-country trip from Florida to Arizona. I'll return in November.

However, I will not fly. I will drive the 4,300 mile roundtrip for several reasons.

I need a vehicle for 2 months when I get there and I can't afford a rental for that long.

I'm retired so I have all the time I need to drive.

I will not be subjected to the groping security at airports nowadays. Go feel someone else's junk.

The days of flying commercial have been over for me for 20 years now.
