  Most adults, with the exception of my sister-in-law, Susan, have traveled in an airplane at least once. Clearly there are good reasons to fly when a car just will not do. However, the following are ten things you should consider before hopping on your next flight. 10)     The most obvious reason is you may get there faster when you fly.  That is of course - assuming you get to the airport in time to catch your flight - get through the long check-in lines - security, weather delays - and cancellations for any number of other reasons. 9)     Think about what they are asking you to do before you board - stuff yourself inside this long-pressurized tube with a bunch of strangers, while you climb to about 35,000 feet, (6 miles) way above the clouds, at a speed of about 500 miles an hour, but don't worry it's really very safe.  Where are my car keys? 8)   When going through the security line your shoes come of...

  10)     Exactly what are "capris." They are too short for slacks and too long for shorts. 9)     Why do so many people wear their caps backwards - it seems to me you would want to advertise your favorite team or brand, not to mention that the bill of the cap protects you from the sun. 8)     YETI  -  How does it know when to keep cool drinks cool and hot drinks hot? 7)       When you are in the left turn ONLY lane, why do you still need to give a signal? 6)     When you are out at a fine dining restaurant and spaghetti is served - to not embarrass yourself, do you use the twirling fork method, cut it with a fork and knife, or just slurp it down and hope none gets on your shirt or dress. 5)    Everyone I know always purchases Grade "A" eggs - do they even have Grade "B" eggs - what about Grade "C" or even better give me a few of those Grade "AA" eggs. 4)     We now have cars th...

  Disney World is in fact a magical place like no other.  On a recent trip during a brief rest on a main street bench I made several observations. 10)     It is a people watching mecca.  While I was sitting on the bench, I counted approximately 140-150 happy faces pass by me every minute. 9)     Speaking of happy faces, when they enter early in the morning there are smiles and great expectations by everyone coming thru the gates - by four p.m. in the afternoon - the pace has slowed  dramatically, benches are nowhere to be found, and a little different look on these exhausted faces who have spent most of the day in seemingly never-ending lines. 8)     Disney makes an absolute fortune selling T-shirts. 7)     If you see a lady wearing a dress and a man with long sleeves and/or sports coat they are very important cast members. 6)     Half of the "guests" are running/moving at very quick pace to their ...
