Hi, my name is Jodie Price and I have been a flight attendant for the past four years. Before that, I was a teacher at a local school. During my summer vacations from teaching, I loved to jet off on an exciting adventure whenever I could.But the flights stressed me and my friends out so much that we almost stopped vacationing altogether. Would another form of transportation be easier?
