what's the best mode of transportion when traveling?

well i love flying, and guess what? until the average American gives up his car i will contiue to do it
blessed be

i love teaveling in my car too, i like to know i can go anywhere i want to and its totally my decision, i am in controll and i can do as i want in there:)

I hate flying & although I have been on a cruise(despite bouts of sea sickness)& had the best time(for the most part LOL) I'd rather travel by car. Like you said you get to see a lot more. I love watching the horses in the feilds that we past by & the cows & yes even a few deers here & there. Nature is a beautiful thing.

Dear friend,
If it is on road, I like to travel by car, if it too rush and the roads are narrow and I would like to travel by bike. If it is between two countries that too far away I would like to travel by airplane and if it is through I like the most one than flight is luxury ships. More over in domestic or in country travels I either use cars or flights. Local travels I like bikes. This also depends upon the mood and energy I have at that time.

It depends on why I'm traveling, how far and who I'm with. If I have all the time in the world I like to go by car. If you see something interesting you can take a detour to see it. If you take the state highways and want to stop beside the road to check out the wild flowers you can. I also like to fly If I am going to visit some one and have to keep to a schedule. I like to sit beside the window and watch the ground changing as you fly over it. I've never been on a cruse and don't expect I ever will. Spending all that time watching the ocean doesn't appeal to me. as far as the entertainment that they have I would just as soon do that here n land.

My favorite form of transportation is train because it is a comfortable and enjoyable way to travel. I like to see out of the window the scenery in the day time and during the night time I enjoy sleeping in a comfortable compartment. Often on trains I meet and chat to other travelers or the local people. I don't like traveling by bus nearly as much but routes can be convenient and train lines are limited or even not around in some countries.

I like traveling by ship or boat when the ocean is calm. On sea voyages it is interesting to see islands, especially tropical ones. Traveling is rough waves is no delight at all because such a choppy situation can make me sea sick. It is not possible to get off a ship when it is at sea if the journey is poor.

I fly on a plane because it is a quick way to reach faraway places. I like to see scenery other than puffy white clouds. On flights before I have seen the pyramids of Egypt and the islands of the Maldives. I find the seats cramped with little leg room. The last flight I went on was bumpy and I was glad to land. Once in the air it maybe many hours before the plane will land. I tend to do stopovers on a long journey like the UK to Australia.

I too love traveling in car. listen to music while traveling in car i feel excellent. there is nothing like enjoying while driving. i never traveled through airplane until now so i do not know how it feels.

It depends how far you're traveling and how much time you have. For short things, I prefer a car. For longer distances if I have extra time, taking a train is fun. You get to see a route straight through the country where interstate highways don't go. Amtrak is a nice way to travel. It does take at least as long if not longer than driving though because trains are not particularly direct. If I don't have time to spare, a plane works. Did that answer your question?=P

I always wanted to try traveling long distances by horse and buggy like the Amish would do. But Traveling by automobile is probably the most adventurous way to go.
You normally won't be pulled over by the highway patrol for speeding, get cut-off and forced to swerve into an embankment by a moron or pick-up dangerous looking hitchhikers in a plane or cruise ship.
The only bad thing about driving a car is your arm and leg will need to be removed to pay for a tank of gas.

By car, if your destinations within the island you're in. It's nice to see the places where you pass by. The landmarks and the people.

By plain, I don't mind not being in the window seat. As long as I get to my destination right away.

By boat is pretty boring. It's so slow and there's no scenic view except for the sea [and some flying fishes]... and very dangerous way to travel when there's typhoon.
