I never enjoyed flying. I did it because you have to, if you want to go places & see things. I *really* hate it now & have only flown a few times since 9-11. Another thing that has happened is the crowding. I am a small person 5'3" & not obese. I fit in the space allotted. I am distressed that I will be seated next to large Marge. I have been seated next to the girl before & had her hanging over the armrest into my seat. That is misery for both of us. The airlines should be fined for the way they crowd people into their planes. Most of our trips are in our Tahoe now for these reasons.
Lately I don't have much of a desire to travel. When I take vacation days I usually just use them to relax, which either means going to the gym or riding my bike. It's not a real "vacation", but I find it enjoyable. You'd be surprised how much fun a bike club membership can be...
By the way, this is me last weekend on the MS-150 City to Shore Bike Tour. Over 5,500 riders rode from Cherry Hill, NJ to Ocean City, NJ for Multiple Sclerosis, on a route that was 78.5 miles each way (we rode to Ocean City on Saturday and back on Sunday). This was my seventh year doing the ride, and it's a lot of fun.
