Reasons I will not fly.
Most important is I cannot clear my ears when the plane descends too rapidly, agony , loss of coordination and ear bleeds.
I will not travel into the Mountains including my own State as the speed of the car and the elevation instead of making my ears pop, cause very bad headaches.
Reason No.2. I do not want to be shut up in a cabin sitting on a runway for hours waiting to take off. Horror story's, no bathrooms, no heat or air conditioning, young children screaming for hours at a time. No way to get off, go into the terminal and get cool or warm, have a drink or smoke a cigarette or Pee.
Air travel is so unnatural to me today, none of this stuff was happening when I would not give a thought to flying around half the world with my kids, I cannot count the times I just grabbed the kids and hopped aboard a plane, but, I was most younger then and had no idea of the problems that we have today.
All the fun in life has been taken from us at our expense. My kids go on cruses every year or so, they can swim but cannot fly, yet the last 2 they have been on they or their Spouse have become ill the last couple days of the cruse.
Out of the blue air travel and going by sea has become so dangerous, in air travel old folks and Nuns are stripped down bare arsed naked to be able to fly, not to mention the toddlers that are scared out of their wits having strangers groping their privates.
Then the expensive cruses where people disappear, and the survivors come back sick. My very best friend and Hubby spent a boodle of money to go on a cruse, the Captain drove them into the outside edges of a near hurricane.
What a story she had to tell, the cruse was for 5 days to the British islands and on the way home the crew refused to stay in port and bullied their way through rough seas.
Main dining room a life boat slammed into the windows shattering glass, the pitch and Yaw was so great the shops selling expensive items had their display cases fall and shatter.
Friends were in a cabin over the upstairs kitchens and heard things rolling about over head. No water to the cabins, toilets stopped working and there was no food service.
Elevators stopped working so anyone with any kind of handicap could not leave their rooms. It took a day extra to reach port, meanwhile everyone had to wear life vests at all times. She told me they could not get any sleep as every 2 hours a horn would blow and everyone had to stand in the hall outside their rooms. Hungry, dehydrated and terrified.
Cost for an interesting voyage was about $2,000 bucks. That includes air fare and they had to wait 2 hours on the ground before they could take off.
Me I want to see the USA from my car or Am track, the heck with the rest of the world, there is too much to see at our back door.
