Yeah. I miss rolling up to the gate last minute. Your family could send you off even. Ahhh. The good old days.

I’ve been Traveling a lot in Europa and South America and I clearly can say that it’s faster, cheaper and more reliable now than 10/20 years ago. I remember sleeping in the airport floor because companies just filled bankruptcy that same night, travelling 3 days to go from Madrid to Bolivia or Peru, etc.
For less than 4 hours flight I just take the train if they exist lol

Yeah, flying is definitely stressful and time consuming. It got exponentially worse after 9/11

Your biggest travel disasters?

I once was stuck in an airport in Peru for over 24 hours after a flight was canceled. I remember trying to sleep on a tile floor. It was rough. I really do not like flying. I like being in a plane. It's fun. But the whole process drives me nuts. I am not planning to travel much this way anymore.
