Yup, flying sucks. At least waiting in airports for your flight sucks. Delays and cancellations suck even worse. I spent more time than I have ever wanted in airports during my time in the Air Force, lol... One time I was at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport for like 16 hours. In my ABUs. Yay Tech School... Another time my flight was delayed so bad that, once I got to the next airport, I had to run across the place to make it to my connecting flight.
I far prefer driving. I kinda like driving. But only for like one day. When I came home, I drove 3 days straight, the first two days 12 hours, and the third day 10. It also helps if there's actually something to look at. Southern Wyoming is a whole lotta nothin'. I remember being like "OH MY GOSH!!" at one point that day, lol... Also, my cat was with me. She did really well the first two days, but on the third day she started freaking out a little bit. Can't really blame her, heh. She also went through the flying process with me, and she was really good with that, only really complaining when we were walking around (I think she was getting jostled, and didn't like it). Sometimes I get the urge to just go on a road trip, tho. Just recently, actually.
I like hiking trails, too. And camping. Camping is awesome.
