Okay, we've packed our bags, picked where we're going; now how are we going to get there? What's your favorite way to travel?

Planes/jets/helicopters/glider planes/hot air balloon, blimp.....
Trains, trolleys, els, subways...
Cars, trucks, SUV, Semis, Vans, bus...
Motorcycle, scooter, bicycle, unicylce, electric cart...
4 legged friends: horses, pony, mules, camel, elephant...
Cruise ship, motorboat, sailboat, submarine, raft, houseboat, canoe, kayak...
hiking, rollerskating, skateboard...


I'm catching a train in Paris so to get there I'm gonna:
take the high speed express train across state to NYC
subway to the harbor district
take a cruise across to England
rent a Alpha Romeo Spider and drive the channel across and down to Paris. And enjoy my trip on the Orient Express.

And how are you doing your trip?

I'm taking the Amtrak Capitol Corridor to "Old Sacramento" today.

I'll drive to Seattle via the Oregon/Washington coast. Cash in some frequent flyer miles and head for Port of Spain, Trinidad. Take the ferry to Tobago. Have my friend from Guyana pick me up in a boat. When its time to leave Guyana I'll utiliize my Dutch contacts, hop on a freighter boat, and sail on to the next learning experience. That trip will be for another weekend. In the meantime, this weekend I get to look forward to taking a trip across town and mowing the lawn for the former housesitter from hell.

It's better than being pushed out of a Helo on a rope in Somolia. Better then exiting the belly of a C-141 in Kigali after 16 hours to 4 Russian ZSU 23's pointed at you. It's better than the prop wash of a H-53 Pavlo setting off the land mines of the landing zone you almost landing in and It's better than driving a car in Paris, of those 4, driving a car in Paris was much more dangerous.

Ew, now I'm sad. You've seen alot of bad things in your days, Shannon. I don't like to think of that for you or for all the victims there, Darfur, Sudan... Man is so evil to each other. I'm glad you are safe and home, I pray that God will comfort all like you, Lewis, etc. who have seen such things. I have watched many die; some from their own acts, some from the acts of others, and each death took a part of me away. I grieve for us all.

Ah, I'm only going 5 hours south (to the snow), so I'm going the long way around.

Harley to the harbour and pick a decent cruiser at the Cruising Yacht Club. Outa the Heads and hang a left. North to the Barrier Reef and after a bit of farfing about in the tropics, park the boat in Cairns, hop into my chopper and follow the coast anti-clockwise to Perth (stopping for a bit of fishing for Barra now and then).

Four wheel drive then across the red centre to the the Alps and a snow mobile to to my chalet.

Crack that first beer and...strewth - forgot the skis! Back into the snow mobile, down the hill, into the 4 wheel and head west...
