Mostly this has been an environmental choice - not that we would never fly anywhere but to limit our flights. Recently Rob has done all the flying (with his trip to Libya last year) so this is the first time in ages he's had to worry about serious hand injury during take-off and landing. To make it worse we couldn't get direct flights to Bergen so we are a two-leg journey on the way out and three-legs on the way back. At least the boat is a bit greener.... And, finally, to salve my conscience, we have offset the flights (and Rob's car use and our gas consumption for heating for good measure). That seems to be best option - use a greener travel methods if possible but, if you have to fly (or drive), then offsetting is good. I’ll be flying next week for the first time since 2006.
