since 2002, i've grudgingly buckled myself into an aircraft seat and ignored emergency procedure videos every few weeks.
the drive to the airport, the walk to the lounge, the trot to the gate, the airplane seat, the airline food, the feet and butt cabin, pitch bitch, kids and babies on planes, insincere flight attendants, surly custom officers, the different queues, the weird hotel rooms, and many many other uncountable discomforts associated with airplane travel i dislike.
while waiting to go through all that, i enjoy dreaming about mechanical watches... fountain pens... concrete plans for my future... and the end to all that flying around...
my wife bought me a very nice pelikan for christmas last year. then grad school's accepted me. just 3 weeks ago i purchased my grail watch. now i'm about to book my last plane ticket and begun to seriously consider having kids.
a redeye on november 1st will mark the end of my regular flying about and a start to a new life on ground. it does worry me that i may not get used to it.
meanwhile, i've got 5 more flights before november 1st. i hope that's enough...
p/s: and thanks for letting me lurk and learn, SQtalk!
