We haven't had a foreign holiday since 1990..are we worse off from not flying anywhere...don't think so...kids have never flown and they appear not to have suffered either.

One excellent guide on staying grounded can be found at www.seat61.com. We used it when we wanted to travel by train from Ireland to Mongolia.
