I think I've traveled by plane more in the past 12 months than I have in the past 12 years. I'm not a huge fan of flying, but I did start to get into a sort of groove with it and even enjoy it some. There are a whole host of things that spring to mind to share--things I liked less: self-important/ angry travelers, the strangeness of airports, the culture of fear security; and things I liked more: the airlines that still give complimentary drinks, my high levels of productivity when stuck in an airport, and the view.

Mostly the view.
