MikeJD 0 #8 December 23, 2004 Not me. I'm going to be sitting on a flight to Phoenix for 11 hours. With about 20 other skydivers, which helps - I think. Sure, it'll be very very cool when we get there, but I hate long haul - so I'd swap you your day at work for my day in an economy airline seat. Oh, as long as I still get to spend 9 days at Eloy...
