Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Susan?
I can't wait to see Canada, Jason, but I'm scared stiff of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous.
There's nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day?
I've no idea. Hundreds, I suppose.
And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year?
Yes, but aero-planes fly so high and fast that once is enough.
There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport.
I still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but as least you can relax. I'd love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II.
It's fine if you're a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea?
No. I've only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I'd rather be sea - sick than dead.
