I'm not a good flyer so the chances of me ever going to the UK or the US are slim. I'm not afraid of flying but I just get uncomfortable in the seats and walking around the plane isn't enough for me. I also can't sleep on planes which can really suck. I remember multiple times coming straight from night shift, driving for 11 hours, then staying awake until the afternoon flight so I could sleep on the plane and not sleeping a fucking wink. Then having to stay awake and listen to the outlaws waffle until the wee hours of the morning. Flying across to Perth (5 hours there and 3 1/2 back) is more than enough for me.
Perth to Melbourne is quicker but it feels longer because of the time change, but the 3 hour drive home is also a major PITA if it's a late arrival. Driving takes us 4-5 days and it's much more enjoyable, and I get less time with the outlaws.
