Riding in a plane

Traveling by air is fun and exciting. It has nothing to do with the fact that airports are strict secure areas. It has nothing to do with overcrowded plains. It has nothing to do with rude people who may be flying with you. It has nothing to do with the amount of money it costs to buy a ticket. It is not the fact that there is a price tag, a high one, on everything associated with air travel. It is not because of the risk of disease that comes from being in a small place with so many who may carry who knows what. It doesn't really come from the voices of children who neglected to prepare themselves and their little ones for an enjoyable flight. It isn't the 400 pounder in the seats next to you. Nor does it stem from the cramped space in which you find yourself sharing with the seatback in front of you. No none of these simple pleasures are the key ingredient that contribute to the fun and excitment of modern air travel.

Anytime you can travel at over 500 mile per hour 30,000+ feet above the face of the earth, that my friend is a good time. I don't care who you are or what you do, that's a blast.
