Rambi!! Hi sweetie, you've been missed. Yes, I'm not a fan of kids kicking my seat either. But my biggest kid-related pet peeve is when a parent traveling with a child in the row in front of me allows the child to stand up, turn around and stare at me for long periods of time. I like children, but boy it's annoying to have to play with and fawn over a stranger's child on a plane. Grrrrr....

Unless of course the body was maybe Nicholas Cage's. I heartily concur on your choice. Regarding seat choice, I've avoided flying for the last few years. It's become just too dehumanizing. When faced with the necessity of a plane trip last year, I decided I'd buy a little elbow room and get myself two seats so I'd be sure there was no one sitting next to me. I spent time pondering flying first class but in the end I just couldn't bring myself to pay the price, which would have been something like five times the price of two coach seats. Well, I won't do that again. It was really nice to be able to cross my legs and have someplace to put my stuff. But I discovered that the arms don't always go up all the way so you can't really sit in the middle or even stretch out sideways. The arm sticks out an inch or more from the seat back, which makes it quite uncomfortable. So assigning two seats to really large passengers is not really workable. If the airlines can't give people enough room to breathe, at least they could get the arms to go up all the way. Karen
