A couple of years ago we changed to flying only 1st class, which helped somewhat. Not sure we could or would want to swing that internationally. But just having to go through such a wasteful, unnecessary process, bothers me more than it should.

There’s nothing irrational about it.

I’m not a traveler. I have maybe a 10 mile radius (and that’s being generous) I like to live in, and I get a little stressed out when I have to leave it for some reason or other. It’s not that I dislike stuff that is different, it’s that I vastly prefer stuff that is familiar. If I encounter someone or something new in my normal range, I get curious and am likely to be quite friendly and even helpful. But being in an entire land full of different stuff…no.

I enjoy travelling but can’t manage much of it now as I’m not in good health these days.

I’m not officially retired - only almost 35 years old - but I hope to get my health back so I can work more.
