So true, some people work nonstop and seem never to take time to just relax. When I travel, typically I get the full day to travel to and from home which makes it nice. Sleep in a little in the morning, have a good breakfast then head out to the airport. In flight, not too many people talk but instead whip out their cell phones and laptops or read their business literature. So I don't bother striking up a conversation either. Sometimes I just say hello and that's it and other times I've met some great folks. </font>
I always wonder about the guys who yap on their cell phones until the door is closed, then start yapping again as soon as they can. Hello, buddy, cut the cord!
Of course, these are the people who do nothing but type on their laptops the whole time they are flying as well.
For me, it's time to relax, decompress, unwind and have as much fun as I can. It's the only time where I'm doing something work related where I'm not expected to do anything.
I take full advantage of it.
