Leaving on a jet plane…

Posted on December 17, 2007

I just need to vent about how much I hate traveling. I know this will sound odd coming from someone who has been all around the United States, Mexico and to Europe several times. But I HATE FLYING!!!! The problem with flying for me are those damn airline seats. I have rods in my back that limit my flexibility, and the airline seats are designed for much taller people who have flexible backs. In addition to this, I hate being stuck in a seat for hours and hours at a time, forced to deal with random strangers sitting next to me (and inevitably invading my bubble because the seats are so damn small) and having bad airline food inflicted on me, if they feed me at all. Add to this my incredibly small bladder, and the fact that they take forever to turn off those fasten seat belt signs, and you have the recipe for pure torture. And now, I also have a toddler in my lap. Fun, fun, fun. It is such a bizarre feeling, I am really excited about going back to Colorado and seeing our families and friends, but I am so nervous about flying that it keeps me up at night.

Sigh, its just a shame that everything cool is so far away. I am with Misty, someone should get on that teleporter idea.
