I gave up flying when I realized I was spending about 6 hours getting to the airport, getting parking, getting molested and insulted by TSA, and then waiting for the plane to take off. Then flying white knuckled, waiting for some Islamic Bastard to announce he would kill everyone on the plane because TSA didn't want to profile the SOB and hurt his feelings.
So now, when I travel, 6 hours of drive time is not an issue. I dont need to visit the West Coast, been there done that.
Many of us have found a better way. We travel without Muslims, and we dont get molested by our Governments goons.
I also gave up flying for good. Thankfully, I can since I've already seen the world as much as I care to and don't have a job that requires travel. I do have to make a 13 hour drive if I choose to see family but a comfortable car, coffee, and books on tape makes the trip easy.
