You know, each time I fly south of where I live or hop on an international flight, people are almost always in an exuberant mood - I think it is the idea of getting away from the stress and humdrum of city life - the flight in is always fraught with stress in the air - it is tangible as ppl are gearing up to face the stress again

Looks like you had a lot of fun and some interesting stories to share (should you choose to hehe)
