   The air traffic controllers insist that flying is the safest way to   
   travel long distance.  I'm sure they are right, but I don't like it.   
      
   Personally, I prefer to drive.  I also like not having to get a rental   
   car where I'm going, so if I take my car, it works out!  It's a lot   
   cheaper too.
