Can't improve on that.
I dread it when I HAVE to fly, and go out of my way to avoid it.
Used to be a great experience at one time; have fond memories of the former 'KaiTak (sp?) heart attack into HK and then the train ride into mainland China to where you appear to live (?).
Funny (maybe) but it was more pleasant to go through Communist China Customs as a US citizen in the 80s than it is to go through US TSA on a domestic flight now!
I have become a frequent driver indeed.
