I find as I grow older I have become a more and more disgruntled traveler. What used to be an exciting and fun experience, is now a long, tiring and inconvenient process. As soon as I step foot in the airport I am acutely aware of the many people sneezing, sniffling, coughing and being gross around me. The plane is so much worse. I have become one of those people who wants to wear a mask on the plane. I haven't gone that far...yet, but I have thought about it. I just got back from Mexico and the guy sitting in front of me on the way back had a disgusting cough. Each time he hacked away I wanted to run away screaming; instead I was trapped at 35,000 feet breathing in recycled air. Every sneeze around me, cough near by and sniffle I just wanted to jump off the plane.
My next adventure will be within driving distance, where the only person to gross me out is me.
