My cousin's 20-something daughter would jump in the car with babies and drive from Fl to va bch like it was Nothin'! Who does that?
I took a very long bus trip recently and could hardly move afterward. Flying isn't any better. Endured a grueling flight to Oahu over twenty years ago and the oversized "kid" next to me didn't get up once during the flight. Think rock solid teenage ox/football player with tree trunk limbs, knees nailed up against seat; he could barely move and neither could we! All the while his mom and Little sister seated contentedly a row in front (they planned that well since they didn't even offer to sit with him for any part of the trip). No more coach. Live and learn. Times I've flown to Florida cities over the years but was younger then and the trips didn't bother me. Growing older and poorer so . . . staying close to home.
