Air Travel

I have mentioned before, my lack of love for air travel.  It stems mostly from two things the modern airport experience and modern service on the plane.  Deregulation was great for air fares but at a cost.  With each economic downturn the service gets a bit worse and the planes a bit more crowded.  Gone are the days of free meals and half empty flights.  Not to mention, the blankets and pillows.  Recently when flying, I realized that I miss the thrill of sudden acceleration and the moment the wheels level the ground.  Now a days, all of that just means I am that much closer to my hypo-allergenic micro-snack.  However what you still get is a good view, weather and daylight permitting.
