Lol. I am definitely NOT a chatty traveler though. <br /><br />Eric is TERRIFIED of flying so flying with him can be a bit stressful for me because I am trying to help calm him down! In the past three weeks we only had one flight where we weren't seated together and he made friends with the old lady next to him because she noticed he was scared and tried to talk to him to make him feel better lol!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-8717474654234829732010-05-13T07:32:03.073-05:002010-05-13T07:32:03.073-05:00I've traveled with others more often than trav...I've traveled with others more often than traveled alone- but I actually find sometimes traveling alone is easier- I have no one to complain to about the flight being long so I just deal with it- I even though the flight to Australia wasn't bad considering this haha <br /><br />Have fun in AZ!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-13815096310536731832010-05-13T02:21:34.985-05:002010-05-13T02:21:34.985-05:00I like doing the airport thing solo, but on the pl...I like doing the airport thing solo, but on the plane?

I get my McDonalds Diet Coke, my magazine, set up shop at the gate with said magazine, then settle into my book once I've boarded the plane. It's nice me time.

Tomorrow should be gorgeous - so you will definitely get some sun time and then we'll have a good hike when I get back! <br /><br />I H-A-T-E talkative seat mates. And I don't mind flying alone - it makes me feel independent (I know, kinda pathetic). <br /><br />Airplains are so weird, when you think about it. When EVER in our society are you forced to be in such closed quarters with another stranger? Never! Except on airplanes - so it's uber uncomfortable to me! <br /><br />Have a safe trip - can't wait to see you tonight!!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-12388412433264023632010-05-12T10:20:37.329-05:002010-05-12T10:20:37.329-05:00I am JUST LIKE YOU!

I'm a pretty skeptical person anyway so I come across as very standoffish to strangers. Sometimes I hate this about myself but I would much rather be safe than sorry! <br />Have a great trip! I am so jealous! This weather in the Midwest is absolutely unacceptable! Haven't we had enough crappy weather?

It's like this every year! In Chicago, our weather never gets nice until late June, yet everyone expects it to be nice in April. I don't get it. <br /><br />Nevertheless, it's cool you're getting a warm, long-weekend getaway! Especially since you get to see your sis! When I was single, I traveled alone all the time - I was usually traveling to see friends somewhere else, but rarely traveled with company. Now, I generally travel with my husband (and I don't fly nearly as much as I used to). Oh and the only time I've been seated next to someone hot was the first trip I took with my husband. The rest is history. =)Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-88472644091938070892010-05-12T08:46:23.161-05:002010-05-12T08:46:23.161-05:00I've flown a lot as well and I'd say that ...I've flown a lot as well and I'd say that ever since high school it's been pretty much by myself. I kind of prefer it. Like you, I relax, read my book(s), play my DSi, and just sit back and enjoy. <br /><br />I love traveling with my mom though, because we are both similar in that we like to read and etc, BUT we have so much fun when we travel so it works out =) <br /><br />While I've never been seated next to a handsome stranger, I certainly have seen a lot of cuties board the planes I've been on. Sadly, they never sit next to me.

I can't wait to hear all about it. <br /><br />I am not a fan (read terrified) of flying and I've never flown alone. Driving I dont mind traveling alone because I can listen to music as loud as I like and the open road just gives me time to clear my head and regroup.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840515813374990142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-64936488402888603152010-05-12T07:47:25.035-05:002010-05-12T07:47:25.035-05:00I love travelling solo.

I tend to feel like I should be craving company, but I love some alone time just to keep to myself, think a little, maybe journal or listen to some really good music, and be content in knowing something wonderful is coming in just a few hours :) Have a wonderful time!!Emily Janehttp://emily-jane.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-33348454957207682662010-05-12T07:27:49.314-05:002010-05-12T07:27:49.314-05:00I always smile at my seatmate, but I tend to not w...I always smile at my seatmate, but I tend to not want to chat either.

I like it & I don't like it. Can I be in the grey area? lol<br /><br />I do tend to be kinda quiet when I'm on a plane though, there's something about the length of the flights that I'm usually on that just make me want to recharge instead of worry about carrying conversation.<br /><br />Have an amazing time with your sister & brother in law!

I've travelled more often than not by myself and I love having the chance to read!<br />I was seated next to an incredibly handsome stranger on a flight from DC back to Charlotte in 1996. He was just getting out of the navy and I was only 16 so there was no chance anything would happen but he and I talked the whole way back to Charlotte. It's most certainly possible!!Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.com
