Stop flying COMPLETELY!!!
Yikes...Ok its a big step and I have not set it as done but I am close to making the decision. This Easter I did'nt take a flight to Spain that I could have and instead went down the country. It felt good and I will be trying it again. I just needed a break and found, the box was ticked. We used to always do this as kids, its a cool thing to do, and everyone speaks the same language.... Bonus!!!

Unfortunatly for me, my job has me on planes every week to get to meetings for several years. But now we are using trains to go to near countries (I am located in Amsterdam) so if going to Belgium, Paris, Central Germany, we take the train. its about 4 hours, but also feels better use of time. We are now working that our meetings all work together to get a train route planned for one weekend a month, instead of sporadic meetings in various locations so we can make the best of the train use!

I took a flight pledge a year or so ago and have been quite liberated by it. This week we took the ferry to Dieppe where we spent a lazy and affordable two days - no more rushing and queing for me!

I don't know Doc!! But there are ways to get it done. I am taking the boat and train to London next week. Its easy enough and now that I have booked it, I am really looking forward to it. Planes are convenient but we miss so much of what traveling is really about, the journey my man, lets soak up the journey.... Its cheap too. €88 return into the heart of London and its open, so if you decide to change its no problem.
I like the sound of a road trip to Finland, that would be great, an experience, something you would all really remember. No airports, no cramped seating, listen to your own music, stop when you feel like it, eat what you want. I think if we reframe this traveling thing it could become a real treat, a fully wonderful experience and not something we just take for granted. -

Help! My fiance is fron Finland and takes regular flights to visit family and friends, also we have regular visits from Finland compounding the problem.
I join my family on these trips about every third time, this is about once a year.
Any good ideas about how to solve this problem. I've thought about trying to get enough free time to take 4 weeks off and drive up there, just once a year.
