...I love the spontaneous side trip....
Exactly...

Back when, I used to say that everyone should have to drive across the entire US, at least once.
Some of the best memories were the unexpected and unplanned sights, people, and places.

Back then, commercial flying was very customer-oriented
with various perks: comfortable seats, special meals, etc.
But even then there was so much lost in a 4-hr trip across the US.
And just look how much better things are now !

I can't believe there's much fun during the 45 minutes in the Chunnel.
... I'm sure it's because there's no chance for a spontaneous side-trip.
