Put me on an airplane (even though I hate being cramped for many hours) the reward at the end of the flight has always made it worth while.<br /><br />Otherwise, within the US, if time and money is no consideration, then I like driving and seeing the sights on the way. The trip itself is as much fun as the destination!<br /><br />SigSig Wynne-Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758754941954867390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-69309733537176220732009-12-17T17:12:07.043-08:002009-12-17T17:12:07.043-08:00Only from Ohio to Fl and also Ohio to Texas.

Once to Copper Harbor Mi, to Montana (with four kids) and mysself compared to renting a cabin in Mich and when we went to Canada, I prefer motels/hotels and eating out. Between flying and driving, I prefer the driving, even though my husband never let me drive. The most fun trip we had was in my little Red 88 Sprint. Wasn't a comfortable ride, but we stopped often and it was just my husband and myself. We laughed a lot about how uncomfortable it was, but we got good gas mileage in that little car. I doubt our poor old aching bodies could stand a trip like that again. But it was fun then and it's one that stands out in my mind the most. Flying from Ca to NJ, don't think I would ever attempt that one. I just don't like flying.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-23709107488846998812009-12-17T12:29:10.674-08:002009-12-17T12:29:10.674-08:00My overnight flight went without a hitch, but I...My overnight flight went without a hitch, but I'd still have rather been driving. Except for Newark--I'd probably rather fly over Newark than drive thru it-- that part was miserable. But it feels good to be in my rental van driving thru middle New Jersey.<br />The Hotel's got a business center with internet so looks like I'll be on some. Thanks for your comments. I can see most of you are not road people like me-- you really got to give it a good chance!Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-54308029489570717502009-12-17T07:35:48.856-08:002009-12-17T07:35:48.856-08:00>>[As you read this I am on a plane, or in a...>>[As you read this I am on a plane, or in an airport, or perhaps even in my rental van on my way to my destination in New Jersey.]<<<br /><br />NO! SAY IT AIN'T SO!<br />But I never got a chance to wish you Merry Christmas and Happy Margarita Day.<br /><br />Oh. I did? More than once?<br />Well, go on with yer bad self then.<br /><br />Like you, I'm a road man, rLEE-b. Best trip ever was The 1983 Jack Daniels' Cross-Country Tour with my buddy Eric. From New Yahk City to Los Angeles - nearly three weeks in a VW Bug. That's the trip in which we got lost one night in the Okefenokee Swamp with alligators closing in on us. I should probably write that story up on my "Stuffs" Blog someday. <br /><br />Yak When Yer Back.<br /><br />~ Stephen<br /><"As a dog returns to his own vomit, <br />so a fool repeats his folly." <br />~ Proverbs 26:11>Stephen T.

Since time would not be essential perhaps by ship if it's doable. I prefer driving though, wish there was a bridge or tunnel from here to Japan or Spain. <br /><br />Have a safe trip!
