Hey Everyone,
(Most probably realize this, but the first part of this title is from a movie, and the second half is from a song.)
What is your favorite mode of transportation and why? Feel free to tell us about anything you regularly use, including scooters, bikes (with or without engines), skateboards, and even your own two feet. What is your favorite way to get form here to there?
I was inspired to ask this after reading an article about how to survive long plane flights.
My longest time on a plane was about 24 hours split between two flights. I used to love flying, but now... not as much. For some reason, I've become a lot more sensitive to cramped spaces, screaming passengers (no matter what the age), angry cats (during my last flight, I was a row behind a cat that had been on planes for 20 hours and it was NOT happy, poor little guy), and motion sickness. I also don't sleep much on planes so I usually feel a bit "woozy" the entire time. And of course, we won't even get into all the trouble it can be getting through those security lines!
Buses and trains are ok, but I'd have to say now that my favorite is probably long road trips (preferably in which I'm not the one driving the whole time.) I love watching the scenery go by and by far, I always sleep best in a moving car (I've often said that if I had money, I'd pay someone to drive me around at night.) I absolutely love the kind of road trip in which each day ends in a different town and hotel and you get to eat at some hole-in-the-wall place that's truly one-of-a-kind, because it's the only one there is in existence! I haven't been able to take that kind of trip in a while, but hopefully someday...
And, on cold fall mornings (which are just around the corner!), my favorite thing is to get up early and walk. It doesn't really matter where... I just like watching the sun come up over the horizon in the fresh, crisp air.
How about you? How do you like to get from one place to the next, and why?
