"Fly Me To The Moon"

Been anywhere by plane lately? Recently, I posted about my first experience as an airplane traveler. I remembered being so excited, almost nauseous, in fact. The experience was amazing and one I will remember for a lifetime.

Okay, so plane travel today, is not what it used to be. Tax money can build all of the eye-popping terminals, flashy art work and automatic flushing toilets, we can afford, but plane travel is totally uncomfortable and increasingly annoying.  I can safely say that I hate traveling by air.

Let me list a few of my complaints. 

• I am only 5'2' and I don't have enough leg room to cross my legs, once seated. Seriously, wiggle room is non-existent. What about folks over 6 feet tall and weighing over 200 pounds??????
• Four armrests, divided by three people, really. That just doesn't compute
• Sardines are more comfortable in a can, than airline passengers are, entering, exiting and seated in the cabin. And, we willing pay thousands of dollars, for such abhorrent treatment.
• Only one employee, out of the several dozen, said anything pleasant to me. That's not a good percentage. What ever happened to "Fly the Friendly Skies of United."??????
• Who teaches airline employees to use their voice amplification systems?  Or maybe their equipment is just way too cheap to amplify without distortion? I might as well have been listening to Jimi Hendrix!!!!!

Bottom line, I got there and back. I did not have to walk or drive myself. I have written that we should be thankful for the small things in life. I am certainly thankful to be back home.

Dearest Lord. Thank you for safe travels. We are blessed.
