I'm more of a road trip person because I love roads, maps, driving, and scenery. I'm a bit of a nervous flier too, so I prefer to drive if it's not too long of a distance.
I don't ever want to go on a cruise, I don't like losing sight of land. I fly if I'm in a hurry or if I have to cross an ocean. My all time favorite traveling trip was canoeing and portaging across about 1/2 of Canada with my dad, when I was a young teenager.
I dunno if you saw this but we were talking about demons and exorcism yesterday and I found a picture of what my old buddy's ex looks like now that she's gone to be with Lucifer. (She'll make his life hell.) She's carriyng her handbag.
Wow.. a beautiful place to have such a wonderful experience.. & to top it off.. with your dad as well... an experience I'd kill for... I bet those memories will be clearly etched in your brain forever.
The memories are etched BabyDol. We did that about 50 years ago and I still remember the smell of the fish cooking over the open fire. It was a heck of a summer adventure.
Trains are great for commuting but I'd prefer buses for long distance. It's just me, I guess, but it always seems as though you're closer to the scenery.
If it's business or emergency, then I take the fastest available. If it's for pleasure, most likely, it's on two wheels. (if it's snowing ... four wheels)
Thanks, Merlin ... un-ex Buddy! Funny story about eating bugs ... I'm riding my bicycle around the trailer park, where I grew-up, and I stand up, on the peddles, to yell at a friend. A bug(?) goes into my mouth, so far back that I can't get it out, so for fear of being sting or bitten, I swallowed it ... whatever it was! So, at a very early age, I learned about keeping my mouth shut while riding! Yes, along with the Suzuki, I also have a 2004 BMW R1150RT. Through the years, I've had BSA, Triumph, Yamaha, Suzuki, Benelli and finally I wanted to try a BMW. You're right, it's a well built bike. I've ridden more brands, mostly street bikes, but stuck with these.
Hahahahahahaa! Too funny about the bug in the trailer park!! You're lucky it wasn't a bee... Ouch!! You know what really bugs me? I think they get the last laugh. Why? Being a horse/animal lover, I've had bugs around me more than some. It doesn't matter I'm going, my mouth always seems to open and they find their way in. As I'm swallowing them down my throat, I can hear them say, "You should have shut your mouth!" I've never swallowed a bee, thank goodness. But, I've been stung on the lips a few times. That hurt like a big dog. And Yes. Everything is Better with Chocolate on it! Hahahahahahaa
