Plane Travel

Friday, June 27, 2008 18:58I travel a lot for Cypress (about 50%). I have noticed that flying knock a year off the life of my lap top and a couple of years off my suitcase. Mybe a year on my sports coat. I wonder what it is doing to me?
Anyone have some data? It seems that all the bumping, compression and decompression has got to take a toll.

Dave.
Being a diver (hobby), the compression/decompression should have done even more damage to me.
Judge yourself. ;-)
You may better have stayed in a pressure chamber for a few hours after your flights (Readapting slowly to air pressure).
... as a positive side effect: making sure that your soul finds it's way back to your body ;-).

Over the last few years to the USA I've had my lugage lost twice.
Both times I'm sure they went to the same destination (Throw'em City) before being found and brought back.
It takes me three days to recover from a 36hr trip (Melbourne to Charlottsville) and two when traveling back.
No idea why its easier one way than the other but its consistent and applies to my wife as well.
So maybe you should fly one way (West as its easier) and drive East instead of flying LOL
