I definately prefer Ken's version. When I return home tomorrow I will need to convince my wife that it is in her best interest for me to travel with a companion, should anything happen during the flight, my companion will be able to ensure my absolute safety. The necessary companion will have to be picked by me, and their will be non negotiable requirements. Thsi could be a tough sell, but worth the try.
