Sure, I'd get on a plane. I've been on a plane many times before and I really have no qualm about getting on a plane again. The last time I flew was just after the awful ValuJet crash, and while I was on the trip, the TWA flight went down! So I have flown with the full knowledge that disaster could happen. I figure if it comes my time to leave this Earth there ain't gonna be no way for me to avoid it nohow.

That being said, however, unless we're talking overseas travel, I prefer to drive. I like being able to stop whenever I want, wherever I want, look at the scenery, take pictures, eat something besides Diet Coke and peanuts, etc. Plus nowadays I don't think they're going to let me on an aircraft with my knitting.

I talked to a guy last night who had flown into Nashville from Colorado Springs yesterday. He said they didn't open his guitar case. Go figure.
