I once loved the idea of flying as well, and I have a miserly 18 flight hours on my record, accumulated 23 years ago. The immediate reason to stop was the fact that the more I did it, the more nauseous I got, but by then I had already decided that flying was not nearly as exciting as I expected it to be. Stopping was an easy decision to make. That said, I also have friends who still totally love it.
