Tomorrow, I fly again. I used to think flying was exciting; now I really don't like to fly. I seem to always end up with a headache (rare for me). Plus, although it's faster than driving, it still takes a long time - especially with pre-flight, check-in times being so extensive.
In addition, I'm in a strange environment where I don't know all the rules. Being searched and treated with suspicion is a new experience for me - every time. I'm always afraid I'll be delayed and miss my flight. The whole experience is anxiety producing!
I used to have a ball-cap that read: "I'd rather be backpacking!"
But, as I said, flying beats the 12+ hour drive to Atlanta all to pieces! And the trip will be well worth it!
- I'll experience great worship with 12,000 young leaders.
- I'll get to spend some time with Troy.
- I'll hear at least twelve really great presenters.
- I'll spend the time with eight of my favorite people.
- I'll be in 80 degree weather for three days.
- I'll take my last swim in 2011.
- I'll be deeply stirred spiritually and creatively!
