So true! I have to hear those airplane horror stories all night at my job and I just think how people used to die of the black death & starvation and this what people complain about now- sitting on the runway for 40 minutes.
It is all true. Your generation may be the "greatest generation" but you are also the most pampered and spoiled! Just think, in the old days when we travelled to Utah we had to go in a station wagon (think Chevy Chase and Vacation) with no DVD player & movies!! no iPod!! no CDs!! Not even tapes!! Not even 8-tracks!! Just a radio, or my parents singing 1940s songs (actually I loved those and still like them). Did we stop and eat at a fast food, even a McDonals? No, they didn't have those, so we'd carry our food in mason jars with dish cloths wrapped around around them so the food would at least be lukewarm when you ate it 4hrs later. My favorite was hamhock & beans soup. I bet no bacteria had grown in that stuff!!
