redsox Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 10mg Valium, a pillow, and a 'Wake Me When I'm in India' sign. Have a great trip and let us know when you return. Thanks man. I think I will be able to get over that fear after all. Hopefully I can get over this fear (however stupid it maybe) by the end of this trip. Thanks to all.

NYM Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I recently went to the Caribbean a couple of weeks ago. I flew out of JFK, and I really don't like flying that much. Once the flight gets started, I'm fine, but I'm really never that comfortable unless we are on the ground safely landed. What I really hate more than flying, is having to sit in a chair for, in my case, 4 hours. I couldn't imagine flying to the West Coast, or even Europe or Asia. It must be torture sitting on a plane for that long, although I'm sure they have bigger planes, and movies for the longer flights. Here's what I did for my morning flight. I didn't sleep the night before. I woke up at 10 AM the day before and I just stayed up all night. By the time we took off at about 7:30, I was done. I slept the entire flight, and when we got to the hotel around 4:00, I slept even more, and the next morning I was refreshed and ready to enjoy my vacation.

abc006 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Why is it everyone's flying to India? When I went to Bombay about three years ago, it was on christmas day, and me being jewish, it was a good time to fly with maybe less traffic than the few days before. So the plane's set to leave at around 9 at night, and after a big hold up in the ticket claim area (we hadn't even got out of the main hall-room-lobby-ticket-baggage place), they say it's been canceled, something about a plane. Go figure. So they start handing all 200 passengers a hotel ticket thing, one by one. By the time we get to the hotel it's about midnight, and we have to wake up for the noon flight the next day. We finally get on the plane at around one, leave the airport at 1:30, and sit for like 14 hours. Unfortunately, we were flying Air India (cheaper than, say, British Airways), so no on-demand movies. Therefore, I can't bore myself to death watching all the movies available, there's only some Bollywood E.T. rip-off, another Bollywood movie with a considerable amount of running through waterfalls while singing, and then something like Freaky Friday. Odd combination, I know. We finally get to the airport in Bombay early in the morning, or late at night in Bombay - sometime when it's dark. We find that the taxi man who was to drive us to the neighboring city of Pune had been waiting all day that last day, waiting for our flight that never came. We finally get out into the Bombay open with its upside-down moon, are asked by a beggar if we would mind him carrying our bags (we refused), and climbed into an old jeep from the 80s. Then was the 5 hour drive to Pune, the collapsing into a hard (albeit, comfortable) bed, and waking to the sound of explosions. Turns out it was fireworks. Early new year's eve celebrations? I've got a few more stories like this, not that you'd want to hear them... (Airplanes are a perfect environment for comedy, really. That's just a random thought there.) Anyway, moral of the story? Fly air india, get delayed a day, watch bad bollywood movies, don't get a wink of sleep... it's all good fun. The point of the story and the moral? I have no idea. Perhaps, don't be scared? Flying is really rather fun, seeing the huge sports complex on the ground looking like an ant. It's a worthwhile experience, and what's more worthwhile is seeing where ever you're going. (BTW, speaking of flying, I just got back from Europe [my flight from rome to JFK was a perfect example of airplanes being an environment for comedy], and I had hardly any internet access there, so that's why I've been deprived from mvpmods... no, I didn't forget. What always surprises me is how everything is so much the same. Same people. Same attitudes. Same excitement. Same grudges. New mods. New banner. The new mods and banner is just what makes it even more the same, like always.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
