Especially lately.

waggler, I lived in Southeast Asia for 12 years, a civilian and made many friends there and some of them have been here to visit. I am over 80 and no desire for a long airplane ride any more.

He hated it there....now this was about 20 years ago, maybe it's changed, but this was a first hand account.
