My flights have been short, less than 3 hours at any time, but I did not like the "extra" time required to get to airport, go through security then wait for the flight to leave. Still, flying is easier than days on the road in a car. Now I have no choice as health conditions and lack of stamina preclude thinking of going anywhere, as much as I would like to see relatives and former haunts. Age catches up with us and health situations can change adversely, so each of you should consider going while you can -- to anywhere.
