Fight or Flight?

I am not real thrilled with air travel these days. Long security lines, lost baggage, fees for baggage that won't make it to your destination with you and really I could go on and on. Anyone who has flown recently has seen the effect of the airlines charging for the first bag. People try to cram way too much in their carry on bags which overload the overhead compartments and all the readjusting of the bags causes much longer boarding and unboarding time.
I am seriously contemplating driving instead of flying next vacation. Yeah, it is that bad when I would rather be stuck in a vehicle with my chatty six year old, sulking sixteen year old and OCD husband.
To conserve money and my sanity we will probably vacation closer to home. Perhaps if enough consumers do the same the airlines will change some of their practices. Until then I will have to consult a map and see exactly what is within five hours of me because that is about my vehicular sanity limit.

Gotta be careful with drowsiness while driving. Yes, flying is not as comfortable as it looks, especially when flying often. A happy week to you, Sandy.
