I agree there are A LOT of disappointments these days in flying, but no matter how many times I fly I am still blown away that we are able to do this and be on one coast at breakfast and another at lunch/dinner (depending on which way you are going

)
Even more astounding is you can travel to Asia from North America for under $1000 and under 16 hours, this would be a multi week journey by boat just 100 years ago.
Even with all the pitfalls a lot of us experience in our daily travels I still try to think about what it was like the first time i flew (that I can remember) and try to have that same excitement today
