- Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Julie? - I can't wait to see Canada, Susan. 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 aeroplanes fly so high and fast that once is enough. - Look, there are more road casualties per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport. - I'd still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but at 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 travelled 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
