I prefer to travel by car. I love to look at the scenery while driving and make stops through different cities on the way to my destination. What is your preference and why?
I guess that would depend on where Im going and how long of a time period I have, to spend there. If its clear across the country for a week, then yeah, Id fly. But road trips arent bad if youre with people you can enjoy it with. A van load of kids that might need to stop every other exit could be a hinderance, as one example, where driving up to the mountains in Tucson with the right group of people has always been nice.
Traveling by car is my choice, because I seldom plan exact routes and can be spontaneous if I want to stop to look at places.
Flying across the Atlantic is terrible. The many hours of flat monotony of the ocean is boring as are the crappy movies. I do like to have a window seat when flying over land on a clear day. It's very fascinating to observe the landscape below.
I love taking road trips. When there isn't a specific destination in mind, or I'm only going to be there for a day or two, taking a trip by car or truck is my preference, because the trip is as much about getting there as it is about being there.
When I do have a specific destination, or time restraints prevent taking a road trip, then I prefer to fly. A good example of this would be a week long ski trip to Colorado, when I only have a week off from work.
I would love to take a long distance train trip, since this is something I've never done. I think it would be like a road trip, but without needing to drive. Of course, I'd probably have to get a rental once I reach my destination, but I still think the trip would be fun.
I have taken the bus for trips of five or six hours, and I don't like it. I would rather drive than take the bus.
