WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Kids kicking your seat?

     Interesting that the topic of a kid kicking your seat during your flight is all over the internet. What do you do?
     Some people talked about slapping the kid or his/her parent. Others about taking off the child's shoes or posting a picture of Grandma - no one kicks grandma - on the seat back.
     While it does irritate me, adults also bother me. It is especially bad on long haul flights to Europe. There are adults who believe that the other 200 passengers want to hear their conversations at 35,000 feet. They talk loudly. Or, the guy behind you does not have lower body strength and has to grab your seatback in order to get up to go to the toilet. Or, the paid staff - see Aer Lingus - goes up and down the aisle with the duty free cart all night believing that someone will buy something.
     A crying baby - usually because of earache due to the pressure change - bothers me less than the guy behind or next to me coughing up phlegm for 5,000 miles.
     I refuse to let them spoil it for me and consider it part of the cost of getting where I want to go.
