Mine is a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue. I bought it in 2000. It has 78000 miles on it. I hope it lasts at least past 10000 miles 'cause I'm broke.
What modes of transportation do you enjoy?
I love flying! Used to hate it.. was scared to death some years back... Now I LOVE it love it love it! I can't believe all those people who sit there reading the newspaper or a magazine or falling asleep when you're taking off or landing on a beautiful day. God, flying through the clouds can be magnificent! A couple times I tapped the person's shoulder who was sitting next to me and said, "How can you sit there and not LOOK! LOOK at this! Isn't that beautiful!?" They thought I was nuts probably. I don't care. I ALWAYS get a window seat.
I also love the train! I haven't taken the train in many years. I really should take a train trip some time soon. Invite me to visit and I'll try to fit it in.
Riding on the train and watching the world go by sideways while in the club car is a joy! And meeting people who are traveling on the train with you going to different destinations for different reasons... well I just love meeting them all and hearing their stories. Then they get off and you go on and you know you'll never see them again but they are a part of your life.I don't like to ride on a bus very much. But I do like the subway if I have to be in the city. I'm not much of a city person. Short trips into the city are OK though. And I'd much rather walk or take the subway while I'm in the city than take a bus. Taxis are great! Too expensive tho.
I like traveling by car... I love road trips. But I like to share the driving. I used to be able to drive for 12 hours without needing to rest or sleep (just stopping to fill up and use the facilities) but these days, 5 hours or so is about my max. But I love the feeling of an open road!
Just thought I'd talk about transportation since we're doing the travelogue jam.
I'm going to California in a couple of weeks. I love walking! But it's too far to walk so I'm going to fly.
