On my first visit to Peru, my family and I flew in an
unpressurized plane from Lima at sea level to Cuzco at 11,000 ft., snaking
between peaks of the Andes Mountains, sucking on oxygen tubes. My son (8 years
old) sat beside me, my husband across the aisle. At one point hubby called out,
“You’ve got to see this!” I unbuckled my
seat belt and took the tube from my mouth to walk across the aisle. I didn’t
make it--started to pass out, but lurched back across and grabbed my tube to
breathe again! ~ Eve Dew Crook

Sounds awesome and a bit scary, Eve. Glad you made it back okay.
