The daily prompt asks – You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
Now that life grants me time to be choosy about transportation I would like to take the train. Yes, it’s a longer journey than by plane but I’d like to see more of this country and I’m not going to do it from 35 thousand feet.
I would never go by bus. I love to drive so a car is possible. If I was a young man again, I would consider a motorcycle.
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car or bike? – The daily writing prompt, getting into my travel preferences.
A cross-country trip, that sounds nice. I’m getting up there in years so a bike be it, self-propelled or a motorcycle wouldn’t be the best thing. Even though those are the best ways to SEE the country. And I always enjoyed riding a motorcycle the most.
But again, too old, to susceptible to weather, and dangerous.
Buses make me nauseous. I’m not sure why because no other form of transportation does that. So that is out as an option.
I can fly but it certainly isn’t my favorite form of transportation. The whole experience isn’t pleasant.

Train or car would be my preference. I love to drive but sitting back on a train for a few days just enjoying the views, casual meals and stops in a few towns sounds good.

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.

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?
And this would be the bike to take behind if he would sell it. Photo by Mike Hartley
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.
