What happened to getting there?
Have you noticed that in the world today, traveling does not seem to be going to place a to place b anymore. This is usually also the reason men don't like jogging, since what's the point to run from one place back to the same in an hour later. Maybe it's due to all those road trip movies, which always seem to have the notion "It's not getting there, it's the journey" behind their respective story. Travel agents seem to have watched their movies well and probably bought the screenplays to make sure they have all pieces of their puzzles.
I need to travel a lot and it seems that flying is the only travel method where the main point is in relocating between places - although the reason to this might be that there's no room to do anything else - even in first class. Airbus is bringing out a model that might bring a change to this, having a top floor including a gym and a bar and whatnot. Boats and ferries are the worst, since these floating restaurants are right there on the nerve.
There must be some kind of pirate gene in homo sapiens since the rocking of a boat under their feet seem to introduce a new behavioral mode of drinking, looking for booty (arr) and unnecessary fighting. Weekends are the worst, since people don't need to wake up in the morning and casual travelers like myself are a rarity. This is why there's a need for cruise ships and they are widely used, but the same effects have been in other ways of transport since someone invented that people should pay for entertainment.
Cheap flight companies have thought of this whole traveling thing, just offering cheap flights from place a to b. The problem is that they can't make enough money by just flying so they fly from close to place a to some town near place b from where you need to take a bus that leaves in the middle of the night packed full of angry passengers who are too used to having bingo nights and karaoke. There is always a lot of discussion of comfort when a new cheap airliner is coming to the market. "How will we live an hour flight without food? How will I stand two hours without seeing a movie?"
The horror.
I just want to travel to get where I want to go, enjoy to travel, not the extras relating to it.
