I love it - but I also find it to be infinitely more enjoyable when I have a window seat. There's so much to see (and if you look for something, you're far more likely to see it). Once I even saw a sundog from ABOVE it! It always amazes me how people can just get on a plane, close the window shade, and go to sleep.

Well - I live in the UK smile.gif But I've not been anywhere that required an airline flight to get there for a while. Possibly a Paris trip later this year ( my other half will have been to NYC, Milan, London and Paris inside of 12 months if we do ) but that will probably Eurostar (not been on that yet). My favorite holiday destination in the world is Mull in Scotland, and that's just 2 days driving and a short ferry.

Last overseas holiday was tenerife about 8 years ago, and the flight out was astonishing - Teide sticking up out the cloud deck as we approached the new airport - and on the way out, it was just gone sunset, and the top of Teide was still lit as we head out north - fabulous.
