Those of you that enjoy crossing multiple time zones and seeing another European city with a big church in the square and having a coffee or beer in the plaza, good for you. Been there, done that. I'd much rather fly in the ol US of A and hit BW3s and be able to use my cell phone to talk to the kids every night. I'm sure that international travel suits some. If you haven't done it before, don't let the old heads on here fill your brains with all the fluff. I may be in the minority on this board, but I'm really looking forward to primarily domestic flying in this next career.
