    How about if I just drive. I am fortunate that I enjoy long car trips. What I never liked about flying was there was usually no sense of the journey. You just get on the plane and voila, you are there.

      Well, that alternative won't work well for a 10h flight.

          @Mik is that the Diamond Princess?

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              @Mik said in Another reason to not fly during the pandemic:

              I knew that (it says so below the stack). I was being sarcastic.

                Ditto to all the above. We won't be flying for a long time yet. Driving isn't perfectly safe either with restrooms, etc. , but it's better.

                    That is scary stuff. I fortunately have not had a long flight in a while.

                      I've been waiting to get over to the UK for ages to help sort out my mum's house - I still don't feel like risking it.

                      I was only joking

                          Yeah, try telling my bladder it has to wait while I find an outlet near the toilet, or set up an extension cord to run that thing before I can pee. Good luck with that as a gal pushing 60 who's been on the road for several hours after a large coffee. 😆
