Bereavement
- No related posts
We got back home this morning. United, despite not giving us bereavement fares, rerouted us through Denver instead of Chicago and shaved a few hours off of our return journey. Traveling can be such a pain sometimes, but it's difficult to pinpoint what I like least about air travel. Is it the lack of free WiFi in airports? Is it the horrid choice in airport restaurants – or the horrid prices those airport restaurants charge? Is it the turbulence on the plane? Is it the fact that you have to pay an arm and a leg to book last minute travel (and no, I couldn't find an airline that would offer us a bereavement fare). I'm still trying to decompress, and doing a horrible job at it.
You rely on your computer, and so do your customers. Keep your computers (and theirs!) running in near-perfect condition with the help of Optimize 3.0. Use it to get rid of unnecessary files and junk, clean out your registry, and even streamline boot times.

Glad to see you back, and my condolences for your loss (and your travel). I always consider air travel a necessary evil, because even if it goes well, it's still a trying experience.

My greatest condolences for you an your family. There's no doubt that grandma is in a better place and feeling very proud to have such a loving family!
As for the airplanes… I think it's the over-crowding, never-empty lavatories, and peanuts that make plane experiences a bit unenjoyable.

While air travel can sometimes be frustrating, especially at times like these, do recall what it would have been like 100 years ago (or even substantially less). It is still an amazing thing to be able to travel thousands of miles in just a few hours on short notice, when for almost all of previous recorded and unrecorded history, most people never traveled more than walking distance (or perhaps horse-riding distance) from where they were born.
