Isn’t it Fun to Fly?

I traveled with my hubby and two kids recently and it was a nightmare.  Having to fly with a two year old used to be bad enough but now with the lines, the security and the waiting endlessly on the runway to take off, it has become almost unbearable.  Add to that the new luggage restrictions and I’m looking to stay put for awhile. It’s pretty tough to cram everything you need for a one week vacation into one suitcase each.  Call me crazy, but I have yet to fork over one extra dime for extra luggage or overweight luggage. Yes, I have been one of those people holding up the line moving some shoes from one suitcase to the other to dodge the extra fee.  Have you had any GOOD or BAD airline experiences recently you would like to share? Feel free. I’m working on a couple of airline related Eight on Your Side stories as we speak!
