How much laxative did you take, if you thought you were going to poop blue?Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 12, 2022 10:29 pmBoy, that fucking 36 degrees sure smacked me in the face this afternoon
Anyway, the reason I created this thread was because I've always been scared shitless to fly. It seems a number of posters here have done it routinely. I was shitting blue cobblers when we were taking off from Detroit, but by the time we were over Georgia, I was looking out the window. The trip home was a cinch.
That said, in my 37 years of life, this was my first real vacation, and I loved every second of it. A flight, Florida, a cruise, the Bahamas and back....it felt great. I highly suggest it!

The thing I don't like about the whole flying thing is the hassle of the airport, it's a full out war on my sensory issues. The noise and all the people. This is why I prefer to just drive the 13-14 hours, with an overnight stop but sometimes that's just not possible, with work.
It likely has to do with me being on the autistic spectrum(milder end) and the issues that come with it. Yeah, I feel like I'm about to go in for surgery or something.Turkeytop wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 12:54 amAmen, Brother.Riff Raff wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 12:39 am

As soon as you enter the terminal you surrender your human dignity and you don't regain it until you leave the terminal at the other end.
I hate it.
That's sort of like the feeling I get when I'm in Toronto and have to ride the subway.
With the way DC is designed, cars are just not very practical. I've been here since Friday and never rent a car. If you fly into DCA, it's Metro all the way.
Agreed. When I was there in February, I either took the Metro or walked everywhere. One night I hit most of the memorials on foot.
We were there for Promise Keepers in October 97. We parked in Maryland and took it down.
