I really wanted to get my private pilot license, and flew about 15 hours of dual instruction several years ago, but a variety of factors caused me to abandon the effort. Partly the expense (even though I could afford it, it was a lot of money), partly motion sickness, partly a lack of connection with any of the instructors at my flight school. I am still kind of sad about it, as I still love the idea of flying, but I doubt it is something I will ever pursue again.
