Air travel...

I don't even care about that. Full body cavity searches can be fun with the right attitude. I do, however, care very much about the herds of humanity that surround me with their bad manners and lack of civility. Get your goddamn arm off my rest. Get your #### out of my overhead compartment. Oh, look, a VIP who is clearly the only one who doesn't enjoy standing in line. No, bitch, I don't want to wait until the light goes off to hit the restroom.

I'm getting itchy just thinking about it. Maybe I should take a few extra days and drive to Lincoln after all.

The people, both legs of the trip were totally fine. Not one complaint. The surly TSA's folks, that's another story...Most were fine, just doing the job but, some of them...

Go first class. Maybe worth the bucks?

If I were a TSA person I'd go Reservoir Dogs and leave bloody heaps in my wake. I don't know how they deal with those people all day every day without losing it. I try to be extra charming to them just to make up for the aholes, even if they're grouchy to me.

There is something wrong with anyone who WANTS that job.

I love to travel so I must fly.

Just returned last night from a week in Las Vegas and my only gripe about the flights is Southwest. I booked them going out 6 months ago. Hubby and I were seated in separated aisles, not close. Talked to 3 different agents and none were willing to help seat us together. Oh well... looking forward to my next trip there in a few months. :)

I'm never sure which sounds worse; Vegas or a cruise.

Vegas does and always has sounded like fun to me, even though I don't gamble. Ironically, the best time I had on the cruise was in the little casino. I can't think of a reason why I would go on another cruise.

Well, you, yeah. Casino = Human Zoo. Lots and lots of people to observe and be entertained by. In a setting designed for them to be at their most entertaining.

Me, casino or root canal? Cruise or self mutilation? :jameo:

I doubt I would spend more than two minutes of a Vegas vacation in a casino. There are a zillion things to do in Vegas besides gamble or hang out in a casino.

On a cruise, however, your entertainment options are fairly limited. I stayed drunk the whole time. That worked.

There's a good time! Drunk AND trapped!

Can't think of a single thing good about flying except it is cheaper and faster than driving 2000 or more miles. Biggest gripe is being cooped up, held hostage and barely being able to move for up to 6 hours.

First class is a bit better, but not much except not so cramped. Not that I have ever tried it except once I got put up there for some reason. Not too unhappy about that.
