I actually quite enjoy flying and I don't even mind the airport, it's the waiting... waiting in the terminal, waiting on the runway, etc. that makes me agitated and annoyed.
Taking the train for long periods, on the other hand, is what I imagine hell to be like. I once got stuck on a train from Metropark (in NJ) to Charlotte, NC that took 18 hours (twice the normal time of the trip) due to mechanical problems and it was so confining and the staff was far less accommodating than I've had airlines be when there is a delay. I would rather fly 18 hours than be on a train that long.
That said, I doubt I would be able afford to travel anywhere requiring an airplane just to see a play.
Now, mother always said that whenever you hear a strange, frightening, and potentially life-threatening ghostly chant coming from the dark woods that there's one thing that you should do: Not wake the others and go investigate it alone...
