I love to travel.
When I get on airplanes, I always assume everyone is going to the same place I am to do the same thing.
If it's a conference, I assume everyone on the plane is going to the same conference; if it's a holiday, I assume everyone else is going for the same holiday. I'm often wrong, but since I don't like talking to people when I travel, my illusions are rarely broken.
Last week, I left Istanbul for Berlin to celebrate Passover with my boyfriend and his mother, but just this once I had to catch myself; how many Turks fly to Germany to celebrate a jewish holiday?
It was a very uncomfortable feeling. Fortunately there was free alcohol on the flight. The person sitting next to me tried to make eye contact, but I managed to avoid it.

Also, on airplanes, do you ever get the feeling that maybe you can fly the damn thing better than the overpaid ferry captains who push the auto-pilot buttons? Because, without that feeling, you got nothin'! -

I'm horrified from the moment I get in until we pull into the terminal at the end of the ride.
