Really, I haven't been on a plane in 4 years, and I'm ok with it. Reading all those rules brought back all the stress that flying has become, most especially the fact that you really can't bring anything in a carryon anymore because it MIGHT be for a bomb or something. Anyway, kudos to you for all your flying and staying sane. Oh, and your rules were very well written.Allyson & Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899323132507414349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269990339302416599.post-87293571684104731282012-02-16T10:48:50.328-05:002012-02-16T10:48:50.328-05:00If I can get off a plane feeling only 25% - or les...If I can get off a plane feeling only 25% - or less - worse about mankind in general, I consider that a win.

Once my wife wanted me to pick up a meat cleaver in Chinatown in SF. I ran it through the carry on xray machine without even thinking. The security guy said, "Is that a meat cleaver?" Needless to say, I didn't get it through....

I always have trouble figuring out whether to talk to the person in the seat next to me or not. <br /><br />I typically tend to be on the chatty side and enjoy conversations but am not sure bout the other person.

I sat on the outside because I would have to pee every 30 minutes AND I got motion sickness all throughout my pregnancy. I didn't need anyone waking me up to crawl over me to get to the bathroom. Thank goodness THAT'S over.

Seriously there can't be that many people who are so new to travel that they don't know what the hell to so? And the whole not covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough - who were these people's mothers????

We're all miserable and cranky. Get on the plane (in order), sit down, take your drink and shut the hell up until we get to the next airport. I love to travel, but flying is the least fun thing about it. Okay, if I sat in 1st all the time, it might not be <i>so</i> bad, but I'd still have to deal with all the plebeians and unwashed masses at security and boarding. :)Mom in High Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990826038518660941noreply@blogger.com
