I loved low, fast, easy to handle cars but after a lot of speeding tickets I just bought a reliable car and drive within the speed limit (most of the time!).

While traveling in, around Denmark, Germany, I like the train. Will get me any where and when I arrive I am relaxed and rested.

I'd give you thumbs up, but I'm out of votes. I too find that train travel in Europe and Japan is the much better way of traveling.

I love flying. If it's a short trip, I like to travel in my truck. But, long distances, I fly. My arms are tired when I arrive, but it's still the best way for me. Lol

LTC John Mohor
SGT Keith Bodine,
Just curious, seeing that you probably had plenty of helicopter flights, what was your most memorable?

LTC John Mohor, I have two. First one is losing our engine at 5000 feet and crash landing in a controlled crash. I thought we had bought the farm, but those pilots were fantastic. We spent the night in the boonies and were picked up the next morning. Second was rescuing seven wounded troops from a hot LZ in Bong Son. It was at night and the first chopper that went in was shot down. A Med-Vac tried to go in but it was too hot. Our pilot took us to the opposite side of the LZ and we were able to load all seven wounded. One of them was the Bt. Commander, out to get a medal, and ended up popping the wrong color smoke, and the gun ships unloaded on him. His right leg was blown off just below the knee. They all lived.

I drove from Mountain View CA to Foxboro MA 2 years ago in my 2010 Vette and it was awesome. I used GPS & Microsoft Map Tracking on my tablet PC & listened to XM Radio Music from the 50s all the way on Route 60....A big change from my 1st trip across country in 1961 in a 1959 Ford Fairland 500 Convertible.

SGT Scott Bell - Be careful on Rte 60 in New York the State Troopers will pull you over for just exceeding the speed limit by 5 MPH....& you will be charged a lot of cash just to drive on their highways...I lost a ticket stub that blew out the window & had to pay a fine ..so my total cost to drive on NY State Rte 60 was &35.00

I like using Windows Map App...It tracks your trip & gives you places to stay or visit along the way..

Cruise ship is my first choice Sgt Kelli Mays. Not only can I relax and let somebody else do the "Driving" but I can relax with friends and loved ones, look at the scenery without fear of crashing, and eat wonderful meals while traveling.
Train is my second choice for most the same reasons as cruise ship - except food:-)
Car is wonderful because it can take you many more places than ship or train can within this nation.

Cruises are definitely a lot of fun. I like cruises except for the one time I was pregnant. That did not go over to well. LOL

It is actually easier than you might think. I think it would be interesting watching people get out of your way?

It all depends, if I am going far for the weekend, most likely flying or train, I do enjoy long train trips, and if driving, I prefer my motorcycle although it is not always possible, due to logistics, weather, etc. But I've driven all the way from the east coast to California, and from East coast to Texas.

The only way that I have traveled in many years is by automobile and I have always preferred taking my car. A large part of the reason is that I like to see the sights and if I have my own car I can take my time and stop and look whenever I see anything interesting. For that same reason I try to avoid the interstates. More to see on the back roads. An example is taking Hwy 90 down the coast instead of I 10. Hwy 90 runs right on the water for most of the way from FL to TX. Almost anywhere that you want to go there is an older state of federal highway with lots of interesting things to see. Another benefits is that I have my own car when I get there and am not dependent upon someone else for transportation or having to rent a car. Once upon a time I occasionally took a plane but that is such a pain in the rear now that I don't even consider it and when you get to your destination you still have to rent a car. I had rather have my own.

SGT Jerrold Pesz - tried to give you thumbs up, but I've seem to have exhausted mine for the day...and yes...my father is a very smart man.
When he was active duty and I was still growing up....he'd save up his leave and take off two to three weeks and drag my brother and I to a few states each summer...make us learn about the states. Back then I was not too happy to go on these trips, but I appreciate them now....He did the same with my kids...though only my oldest liked going with him. They would get into his truck and take off and just drive....and drive...and drive. I'm still not too fond of driving long distances.

I like the fastest and safest way.... regardless of mode. It will vary depending on where I am going.
