I may never fly again

by maxwell edison . Updated 16 years, 6 months ago

Next month, I’m travelling from Denver, to Phoenix, to San Diego, to Las Vegas, and back to Denver. (A combination of work and pleasure.)

I’m on the verge of finalizing my travel plans. At first, I was planning to combine flying and rental cars. But I’ve decided to drive the entire trip. I’m simply not going to subject myself to the inconvenience – and indignity – of what it takes to fly. Instead, I choose to drive across the Rocky Mountains in the middle of winter – both ways. If you’ve never driven across the Continental Divide in January, you’ve missed a once-in-a-lifetime – and possibly a harrowing – experience. But it’s better than flying over it in today’s day and age.

I’m tired of our government (controlled by either party) treating the symptoms of terrorism instead of attacking the disease.

As such, I might never step foot onto a commercial airliner again.

How about you? What do you think?
