I hope that neither time is there a multi-hour wait on the runway, but especially not with the kids.landismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328094347362872558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-8457254138465074872008-11-17T21:46:00.000-05:002008-11-17T21:46:00.000-05:00Rana: I prefer the large planes, despite the fact...Rana: I prefer the large planes, despite the fact that they remind me of every airplane disaster movie I've ever seen. Mostly, I try to get a seat on the aisle and try to pretend I'm on a train.<BR/><BR/>KathyR: I'm safely home now .... although still recovering from the trip.

It's only that, like going to the dentist, I've done it enough to have gotten used to it.<BR/><BR/>(Do you have a preference for small vs. large planes? I actually like the smaller ones, partly because the crews are friendly, partly because they remind me of when my dad would take us up in a rental Cub or Piper, and partly because I hate the g-forces that get going in the big ones. Ooof. It does help that I'm not motion-sick prone, though.)Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041247235612040796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-85027476098760664632008-11-17T15:59:00.000-05:002008-11-17T15:59:00.000-05:00I'm right there with you.
