I decided to take a several month break and was glad I did so. I miss the perks, but not enough to really want to start flying again.

I had a chance to go back to a regular travel schedule but ultimately decided that the personal relationships I can build by not being on an airplane are more than worth it.

I've also still been able to accumulate airline miles, thanks to my churning of numerous Citibank credit cards with 20K mile bonuses. I probably have almost as many bonus miles as actual flight miles :-)
