Hmm Phil, it all looks rather worrying. Air travel is getting more
difficult, whether it is because of a cheapie airline (RyanAir)
refusing to look after your gear properly, or the huge hassle of
getting into the USA now (availability of credit card details, visa
requirements, baggage handling and screening). What with the price of
fuel, it looks like we will have to get used to enjoying the scenery on
our own doorsteps again.
