“Noot much would get me on a plane these days—our kids all live within driving distance now and even in an emergency we could get there before a plane would.
I’ve been everywhere I want to go, so I’m lucky that way.”
My wife and I are both 70 plus year old orphans, and our adult children/grand kids are 30 minutes and 1 hour away.
Any place, I want to vacation at, is on the west coast, and we can drive there in hours or have a nice trip with one or two overnight great motel/lodge stops.
Something doesn’t look right about that gif. The wheels are really out of round right before touching down.
I don’t plan to ever board another plane, either—as you say, our kids live near enough for us to drive to visit them.
That’s what I thought when I first heard this story. Odd.
On the other hand, I was saying to my husband tonight that there seems to be a serious increase in ‘crazy people’ in the news lately. So many seem desperate for some kind of recognition, that they’ll do really nutty stuff.
