You’re going on a cross-country trip.
Airplane, train, bus, or car? (Or something else entirely — bike? Hot air
balloon?)
Train, hands
down. I can enjoy all the scenery in a
comfortable, roomy seat without all the work of having to worry about traffic,
etc…of driving a car. Airplanes are nice
for a across the world trip, but cramped conditions, terrible food, and little
opportunity to get up and move around make it not as fun and interesting as the
train ride where it’s an option. In the
US, unfortunately, trains are not as common a method of travel as overseas, but
in Europe, the Euro rail is the best mode of travel as far as I’m concerned. I
had the opportunity to travel on it for relatively little cost to several
different countries (Spain to France to Italy, and finally Denmark) in a little
under two weeks during my college trip to Spain, and I have nothing but good
experiences to account for it.
My second favorite
travel option would be biking, but I would need to get a little more experience
with actual road biking before I would be totally comfortable with that. So far, my biking experience extends only to
traveling back and forth to work and back on a tiny island on a Schwinn type
leisure bike. I’m not quite ready for
riding down the NW coast on Highway 101.

What method
of travel would you choose?
