Haha, you know I just realized something...

Both Quickie and I will be on vacation for a bit. So by the time we get back, this thread might be over 1,000!

I can walk to LaGuardia, so technically it's easier for me to get to the airport than Penn Station. But Penn Station is still easy for me to get too!

Haha, yes flying in your teens is a lot easier than when you're an adult!

As for High Speed rails & the economy, it would actually help the economy. Building the trains & laying down the tracks would create jobs.

I wonder how practical that it for the United States and Canada because of the sheer size of the countries compared to Japan and Europe. Heck, traveling cross-country by rail is ludicrously expensive (about $3K coast-to-coast the last I heard.)

I'd pay more for less hassle.

Truth be told, I was sitting next to my sister and my mother the whole time I was on the plane. There were no strangers next to me, I wasn't interrupted by anyone and half the time I didn't even notice the people around me. I just reclined back and feel asleep while they had the in-flight movie playing.

I assume you flew by yourself? Perhaps that's why your experience was different from mine. I didn't feel cramped because I was already used to the people with me. And everyone else was in front, back, to the right, etc.

However, if I recall, a couple of times the guy behind me kicked the back of my seat for some reason. That's the only time I had any real discomfort.

As for the airport, yeah, the waiting can be hell.

I've flown a lot of times. By myself, with friends, with family, etc. Regardless of who I'm with, the majority of the time the seats pack you in like you're on a bus. With train travel, the seats are much bigger, I don't have to deal with airport hassle, I don't have to turn off my electronics when taking off or landing, and they even have power adapters next to your seats so you can charge you stuff.

If airports weren't that big of a hassle, I'd prefer flying. What I really really REALLY want this country to have is a high speed rail system, like most other industrial countries do. The fact that we don't is a goddamn crime.

Trains are too uncomfortable for me. At least when there's a ton of people anyway, like business days or when I was on my way to Comic-Con. I can't really relax when there's people crammed up close to me.

Airports may be frustrating, but the planes are smooth sailing and I don't have to worry about sudden stops or nasty smells.

Hold on a sec... you can't relax when there's people crammed up close to you, yet you like flying? The buses of the sky? Planes are way more cramp than trains. And my problem isn't so much flying, but rather if I'm going to fly. I've sat in airports for 9 hours waiting for my flight to take off at times.

At least when I'm leaving NYC, I can walk home if my flight is cancelled, if I'm flying out of LaGuardia

I also wear lace-less shoes when I fly as well. Easy to slip on and easy to slip off.

I have to remove my shoes, any belts, hand over my wallet, keys, change, random bits of paper, I go through the metal detector, the full-body scanner, and they STILL find a reason to pat me down.

Word of advice: Put everything that is normally in your pocket in your carry on bag before you get to the airport except for your tickets. Once you're past security, you can carry it on you again. That's how I deal with it.

Worse. Far worse. I don't have to remove my shoes or belt at the DMV, or run the risk of me getting my license renewed cancelled.

Personally I prefer train travel. Much more relaxing and I don't have to deal with the bullshit of airports.

If I'm on a six hour flight, my goal is to stay up all night and sleep on the flight.

While everyone was resting at camp, Lt. PB and Karen slipped out of their tent and ran towards the waterfall nearby. At the waterfall, they stood across from each other and smiled.

"GO! COMMANDER BUZZ!!!" Lt. PB yelled out as Electivire came out!

"GO! SHADE!!" Karen yelled out as she summoned Absol!

"Dammit. We don't have time for this!" PBPB scowled.

"What do you want to do?" Fxeni asked.

"I'm going to have to trust that Sakura and her band of fun can take care of themselves for a while. You and I have to retake the I.S.S. to prepare for the reactivation of the Wily Star II. If Bathair McFuckhead gets that thing back up and running, we won't have to worry about whatever Unity is planning. Wily II will just do away with us anyway." PBPB looked at Fxeni. "I just hope she'll be okay!"

"She's tough, that one. Heh, she had a good mentor!" Fxeni smiled. "Now, we should get going. The Fxenodrome isn't unlocking itself after all!"

"Right!" PBPB said as Fxeni and her started back towards the transporter room.

My mains are TOON LINK, Peach, Zelda, Fox, and Captain Falcon. Although I like to play as everyone every now and then.

Still hate what the did to Jigglypuff!

I love Zelda. She's one of my mains. All of her smashes are good, especially her Z-BOOT and her B moves are fantastic. It's funny cause I see her so far down on the Tier List. Next Brawl tourney I wind up at, I'm repping her instead of TOON LINK!
