Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 It does sound awesome. I'm still learning to drive - not sure I could afford to own a plane though :-) " Flying one's self is so much better. Getting my pilot's licence has been very worth it.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Does free market neoliberalism do well at ensuring that air is never the monopoly travel mode for any journey you might need to make? That there is always an alternative surface service available? -- In FAMSecretSociety , VISIGOTH@... wrote: > > I greatly dislike flying.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 That's understandable. I was all excited to fly the first time. Unfortunately, I also get very airsick as it turns out I do every time I fly. Flying back wasn't something I wanted to do but I had no choice, just like the other times I have flown as an adult rather than take the train. I've been thinking about this. My son is very keen to travel and go on a plane, but part of me wonders what if he does not like such? What would happen if we did take a trip somewhere and he disliked flying so much he didn't want to get back on the plane to come home? A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi;For ocean travel, apparently (but I have not verified this) some freight ships do offer a limited number of passenger cabins meals etc, at a lower rate then the large passenger liners.(My husband wants to visit Australia when/if he retires, IF i go with him, I would need to stay in air-conditioned hotels or I might become suicidly depressed from heat and sun. He does believe I have reverse seasonal affetive disorder, and so agreed to that. Normally when we hav travelled in north america, we have stayed in low-amenity hotels, often in a 'depressed' area of some city.)For surface travel, at least in parts of canada, bus service is still available, altough much reduced frequency, since the advent of 'cheap' air travel. In the denser populated regions, there is often light rail transit, commuter trains and bus service, (like the GO Transit system giving access to Toronto etc) To get to a smaller community took some investigation as to where and when to catch a bus.(the last time I was in Ontario was close to 20 years ago)renaissanzelady > > I greatly dislike flying.
