Strong desire to go, sadly overpowered by the strong desire to not be on a plane for a minimum of 12hrs

i dont mind the time in plane, it's actually fun. But time and money is an issue for me now and in near future.

I imagine you get to go in one of those planes that has a TV built into the seat for a journey that long

I start to go stir crazy approaching 8hrs to fly home. I get a need for fresh air and hate the lack of space.

On a thread related note: I have a friend we called Uppy (Upton) and he seemed to like his new nickname.

If you do ever go, don't eat the giant shrimp burger from McDonalds.

It gave me the sh!ts.
