Trip mode

The Daily Writing prompt asks – You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car or bike?

Car 1st would be my choice. My better half would never go for the car choice though. But if I were solo it would be a car.

Maybe something a little more sporty.

I’m too old for a bicycle and my iron butt days of riding motorcycles are behind me. I might be able to string a day or two together in the seat, but not cross country. Maybe I could trailer a bike?

If I’m going cross-country with my better half (the only way I would like it), I want to SEE THE COUNTY. And at this point in life, a train ride is the most appealing. I heard of beautiful scenic rides and bookmarked several that show various routes and specials around this wonderful country.

So the train is the answer to the question.

I’m not into buses or airplanes. I’ll take them if I have to but they are my last choices.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

  2. Its all perspective. I read the writing prompt and never thought of motor bike.

    For me, car is always the answer. But train travel is underrated and quite civilized.
