I've been to several countries, as you can see in the previous post. The most time-saving method of travel is of course, the airplane. You just can't get to some places without one, and some places aren't even accessible except by plane. Having said that, I've been on a plane more than once, and I can't say that I haven't not had a wild ride. Several times, really wild. I've never been in danger, been in a crash, or even had the oxegen fall down from the ceiling. I know people who have, though, and they related that it was not a fun experience. One time traveling to Europe, our plane dropped so far I thought I would lose my dinner...my inside sense of stability was beyond safe. I felt dizzy, nauseous, and like my stomach was spinning out of control. Then the plane started to shake from side to side. Oh man! I was glad when the pilot came on and gave a big phweew!
Another time flying to Thailand, the flight attendant came on and wondered if anyone was smoking in the bathroom. She said it was an international law offense and that policemen would be waiting on the tarmac when we got to Bangkok. I was thinking, "holy shirt, what's this all about?" Well, the flight went on, and a slight smell of smoke appeared. I was happy they had tons of booze on board...I drank about 3 whiskey's likkety split. We all were wondering what was going on, and looked around for the perpetrator(s)...if there were...didn't see anyone or anything suspicious. She never said another word about it, and the smell dissipated...not another word was said. And the police weren't waiting for us on the tarmac. My friend and I thought that she thought that someome was smoking, but in actuality it smoke from the plane, and we were on fire, but it was probably a small one and we weren't in serious danger. Guess we'll never know.
