[Mishmash] flying

[Carole]

 my sentiments exactly susan.  i HATE to fly - my friends all think i'm nuts
  going to biloxi sometime this month and will drive.  meeting my friends
who are flying when i get there.  i actually feel as tho half the vacation
is the drive to the destination.  i'm just glad they didn't choose to go to
vegas as that is a longer drive and the weather has been exceptionally nasty
between here and there this year.

>>Hi Fred, I'd be the worst pilot!  No I'm not keen on flying I do it when I
have to and as short as possible. I want to see the world so I'm trying to
work out ways to get around without actually having to fly.
 
I can sympathize with that - flying terrifies me - I hate heights and I hate
closed in spaces.  I've tried everything from gravol to gin before boarding
and nothing works - all that stuff (that puts me to sleep when I'm sitting
on my sofa) perks me right up when we're airborne so I can listen to every
creak and goan - possible signs we may be shortly missing a wing, don't you
know.  I love Greyhound and amtrack.  As another non-flying friend once said
 "if the bus develops engine trouble, you're already on the ground"!
 
I'm going to England next year - haven't been in almost 30 years - already
checked it out - the QEII has regular sailings and if she's booked, there
are always frieghters!  I don't know if she passes through Iceberg Alley or
not but I'm willing to risk it!
