Re:

Well, Annicita, on that flight I wish I had been drinking a soda -- a scotch and soda that is...

Re:

No doubt, FSI, and one I don't plan to repeat. Now that I am with my Beloved, I don't need any more phone numbers, and now that most of my long distance travel demons are exorcised, I don't need any more planes.

Re: Every other flight would have to be great, after that!

They probably are, but someone is going to have to tell me all about them, Ciel. As long as I can't pound screwdrivers the entire time I'm in the air, there will be no flying in my foreseeable future.

Re: Strat

Thank you, Wylie! Likewise -- and I'll try to stick around a little this time around!

That was quite the experience on a plane there.

You are an ace writer. Things are too bad right now to be fallen away, think about it.

Every other flight would have to be great, after that!

The Wellington airport is noted for its high winds and thrilling landings.  Flying down from Aukland was also a roller coaster adventure.  I got the message when I noticed in the seat back pockets, not one, but three air-sickness bags per customer.

You're a joy as a writer to this old ex aircraft mechanic. Please don't disappear again.

Well that just about beats any of my flight stories  and I've been everywhere man...I suppose the worst I have done to any guy sitting next to me is to have  gone to sleep on his shoulder and drooled. None of them ever asked for my phone number.
