I'd still fly transatlantic but I wouldn't take an internal US flight.

Well, I've flown to Israel a couple of times, passed Mossad securtity everytime and that's more security than we'll have on regular flights.

Air traffic is down like 50%, no one wants to fly. Lately I've been seeing license plates from all over the country, every one is driving now as opposed to flying.

Even with the recent hikes in gas costs in the US your fuel costs arfe still WAY below those in the UK.
I drove 550 miles yesterday and it cost me the equivelent of $110.00 in Deisel
Regular Gas is about $5.60 a gallon!!! Super is over $6.00 a gallon.

A van? I thought that when Europeans moved, they tied everything to their carriages and headed for the nearest kingdom

He said he would be arounf less, what with school and all, but he seems to have totally vanished. In a titanic moose struggle, perhaps?
But somehow I think we will see the Phinmeister back here soon...

England is more expensive, those bastards. I took my parent's campervan there two years ago. It drives on Diesel and that's just as expensive as gas/petrol. A major rip off in the UK.

Don't talk to me about petrol! The money I have spent on petrol this summer is ludicrous! I wish I had never passed my damned test now! Ah ha Orpheus is returning is he? You mean he has finally moved his computer out of your brother's room!
