Jump on a plane to Ft Myers (SWFIA). We're headed up to St Pete Beach
this weekend via Pine Island Sound, Boca Grande, Venice, Sarasota and
Long Boat Key among others.

there but for the fact that i hate flying, go i. :)

It's a fairly quick flight, less than 3 hours. We usually take Jet
Blue out of JFK, nice planes, good service. Let me know your flight
number and we'll meet you at the terminal.

Hurry though, time is running out!

what part of i hate flying was hard to understand? :)

My last flight was a 2 engine piece of **** going from Philly to Long
Island/McArthur. It had bald tires and it was snowing. I asked the pilot
about this after we landed. He said it wasn't such a big deal. Asked two
friends who fly small planes. They said the same thing. I think these people
are pithed like frogs before they get their credentials.

Gotta be nuts to step foot in an airplane these days. Seems like most of the
airlines are in chapter 11. I don't trust the mechanics any more. It used to
be fun when the equipment was new and many of the pilots were WWII veterans.
