I totally agree with Jak, if you can, see it in 3D. I almost got motion sick in a regular theatre. How about those mountains? I hate heights...got sweaty palms. And all the rumbling...oh my.

6'5"?? Jak, how do you fit in a plane? It is too bad the femur doesn't have an extra joint. Kinda like a flamingo, you could fold up. I can barely stand it in a plane!

I am 5'3" and can't reach up without getting a migraine....there is no justice in the world.

Om mani padme hum. Om mani padme hum. This is just an illusion....om mani padme hum.

Cyclops I try to not get an edge seat because the speakers are right there. If you go more in the middle. I try to go when it is empty cause I don't do well with crowds.
I heard the 3d is great. I saw under the sea I think it is called at imax. It was amazing.
Jak my dad is the same. He has to lean his car seat back to not hit his head.
Its Complicated was cute. So was Up in the Air.

I get overexcited when I go to the movies. Hence I need an aisle seat...potty break. I do this when I fly too. I pee so much before I even get on the plane, I end up with some sky marshall next to me, despite the fact that I am a blonde grandma.

Once I got into it with the security people who told me I had a scissors in my carry on....

'Mam, you have a scissors in your carry on."
"No, impossible, I went thru everything"
Yes, mam it is in there, do you want us to just throw it out'
"Well, sure, but it is NOT in there. I went thru everything just like you guys advised, and I am not stupid enough to have a scissors in there."

And around and around it went....until they pulled out the scissors and showed me.

I had no idea that the grooming kit I bought, had a secret pocket and in there, was, a sharp, pokey scissors.

So, I found my spot in the terminal to wait, and then went to pee.

Flying from USA to Ireland is a lonng flight!
Making connections to NY is even longer.
Try flying coach for 7 to 8 hrs.
That's a while, to be a sardine in a flying can.
I felt like a pretzel by the end of the flight,
not to mention PN flares.

Been there, done that. Not fun

It took me 5 hours to get home from Boston one time!! They flew us half way over Canada. What is with that? Non-stop flight with a arial tour of the arctic, all the snow, ice and water you care to see.

I loathe sitting there with my knees up to my ears, and I am short. Way more intimacy than I care for.

It is so bad you can turn the pages of Sky Mall with your feet.

Once I almost knocked myself out on the bulkhead. I still have a dent! And I am puny. It is a sardine can. I worry when I go to the bathroom that I will accidently flush myself down.

I would rather drive these days, if possible.

See how deregulating industries makes everything all shiny and competitive and how we consumers benefit by getting better products for lower prices and...oh...um...never mind.

I suppose we could travel first class, like, maybe, twice per lifetime.

Om mani padme hum, om mani padme hum, om mani padme hum.......off to Katmandu or was that Timbucktoo?

No matter, I agree with your premise Joan.

I would like to join this conversation but all I can say is, LOL!
