I tried to get behind him. I really did, but in the end x hours of sheer terror between take off and landing are enough of a disorientation for me. Once that's done I'll settle for the more subtle confusion of trying to convert currency values. Obviously this guy has never dealt with a fear of flying. I tried to get behind him.

I enjoy the idea of embracing the imbalance you feel during and after traveling. Loved reading this right after my long connection-filled travels to Mexico.

This strikes me as the travel equivalent of self flagellation. In life, the journey may be more important than the destination, but if I'm flying across the globe in a little metal box, the destination is significantly more important than the journey. I want to enjoy where I am while I'm there. I get what Parker is going for here, but I’m not on the same page. This strikes me as the travel equivalent of self flagellation.

In Gibson's description, this problem occurs because your soul can't travel as fast as your body, so it takes a little while to catch up with you. You end up feeling like you've been slightly shifted outside of yourself, and it takes a few days to put yourself back together.
