# Chapter 305

This is one of the reasons, the main reason in fact, I dislike flying - the schedule changes or gets delayed and throws all your plans into the air and makes everyone have to flex whether they can or not. So Jake is not getting here when he (and everyone else) planned. All those scheduled events got shifted and new plans had to be made and everyone is making the best of it as we are inclined to do and lets face it, we have had far more experience doing this than the typical family has. But that does not mean I like it any more, just because I am skilled at all the segues that this requires of us all. Therefore I drive when possible. Now I just need to figure out a way to work while driving down the road without it being distracted and dangerous.

If I could resolve that piece I would only fly when it was international. Domestic flights are only attractive if you are going more than half way across the country. If you aren’t changing two time zones, then drive it. Or if you can’t work then think. If you can’t think then listen to an audio book. Of course the one big advantage to flying is that my hands are free to type and create solutions and put them down where others can receive them and see them, answers that others can read and respond to, etc etc. But I know that if the inside of the car is quiet enough, you can dictate all that you need to write with Siri. You got this. The hell with flying. Embrace the road trip.
