No cruise ship for us, wife is terrified of boats on large bodies of water, she gets nervous crossing bridges on some of the larger rivers.
In the 70's after high school I got paid the cruise Illinois, Ohio and Mississippi rivers working on river barges hauling grain, fertilizer and fuel. Did a lot of commercial flying then going to and from work on the barges.
Loaded my semi on a ocean barge to make a delivery on Martha's Vineyard Island, rode a ferry boat back.
Commercial flying was better in the 70's than today, seats where bigger and spaced farther apart, you could lean you seat back some and not bother the person behind you, on early or late flights they provided a small meal, wasn't much but better than today's nothing.
Flew to DC in 90 and plane seamed more crowed but though it was the plane I was on, boarding was same as in the 70's.
Flew to Newark, NJ in 2012, Charleston, S.C. in 2016 and Fayetteville, N.C. in 2019, seats are smaller and closer together, at 6'1" 200lbs my knee's are nearly against the seat in front of me, if you lean the seat back it's in the face of the person behind you.
Add the extra 2 hours you need to be at the air port before the flight along with emptying your pockets taking of my belt and shoes to go thru metal detector , no pocket knife or nail clippers that I always carry all adds up to make commercial flying a hassle today.
Most of our travel plans will be driving to locations in the US that we of she hasn't seen or we want to see again.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
