..is it an ultimate experience when you travel through, an airplane?..a cruise?..a car?...for me i prefer to travel using a car..simply because you tend to see more places when traveling and you get to see them very near making me to appreciate the place that i've never been through...compared it when traveling through the sky or ocean, you just look at the white clouds or the sky and the blue wide ocean.., though it's fun to fly or to float...so what do you think?

I'd love to travel by car. I'd usually drive - it relaxes me. And we get to stop at the smaller towns to look round, shop and try the local dishes. This is real fun, especially when we have time to hang around each stop.
I tend to get air-sick, so I'll not to go by plane unless I'm on a deadline / emergency.

My favorite form of transportation is train because it is a comfortable and enjoyable way to travel. I like to see out of the window the scenery in the day time and during the night time I enjoy sleeping in a comfortable compartment. Often on trains I meet and chat to other travelers or the local people. I don't like traveling by bus nearly as much but routes can be convenient and train lines are limited or even not around in some countries.
I like traveling by ship or boat when the ocean is calm. On sea voyages it is interesting to see islands, especially tropical ones. Traveling is rough waves is no delight at all because such a choppy situation can make me sea sick. It is not possible to get off a ship when it is at sea if the journey is poor.
I fly on a plane because it is a quick way to reach faraway places. I like to see scenery other than puffy white clouds. On flights before I have seen the pyramids of Egypt and the islands of the Maldives. I find the seats cramped with little leg room. The last flight I went on was bumpy and I was glad to land. Once in the air it maybe many hours before the plane will land. I tend to do stopovers on a long journey like the UK to Australia.

I like to travel by using plane,mainly because I don't like to waste my time on the car especially long journey. I can't sleep in a car so I find it's hard to pass the time. At first, I may enjoy seeing the view outside but after a while,I feel so boring that I want to get out from the car. By using plane, I can get to my destination in shorter time then I can enjoy by walking around the places. But if for short journey, I still can travel by car.

It depends on why I'm traveling, how far and who I'm with. If I have all the time in the world I like to go by car. If you see something interesting you can take a detour to see it. If you take the state highways and want to stop beside the road to check out the wild flowers you can. I also like to fly If I am going to visit some one and have to keep to a schedule. I like to sit beside the window and watch the ground changing as you fly over it. I've never been on a cruse and don't expect I ever will. Spending all that time watching the ocean doesn't appeal to me. as far as the entertainment that they have I would just as soon do that here n land.

My preferred way to travel is flying. I like the occassional road trip but still prefer to fly. Anymore I just want to get there and do not really have the extra time to take to drive like we used to. I have only taken a boat twice. Once across the English Channel and once on a cruise in the Carribean and both times got sick. This definitely is not my main choice. The cruise was fun and we were not moving constantly so it wasn't so bad. The trip across the English channel was very choppy and was miserable. Would have rather flown from Holland to England.

It depends how far you're traveling and how much time you have. For short things, I prefer a car. For longer distances if I have extra time, taking a train is fun. You get to see a route straight through the country where interstate highways don't go. Amtrak is a nice way to travel. It does take at least as long if not longer than driving though because trains are not particularly direct. If I don't have time to spare, a plane works. Did that answer your question? =P

By car, if your destinations within the island you're in. It's nice to see the places where you pass by. The landmarks and the people.
By plain, I don't mind not being in the window seat. As long as I get to my destination right away.
By boat is pretty boring. It's so slow and there's no scenic view except for the sea [and some flying fishes]... and very dangerous way to travel when there's typhoon.

I like to travel by car as I can go wherever I want to in my car. But for long distance traveling like moving from one state to other traveling by Train is a very nice and pleasant experience, I can see various landscapes and journey by train is enjoyable.

Dear friend,
If it is on road, I like to travel by car, if it too rush and the roads are narrow and I would like to travel by bike. If it is between two countries that too far away I would like to travel by airplane and if it is through I like the most one than flight is luxury ships. More over in domestic or in country travels I either use cars or flights. Local travels I like bikes. This also depends upon the mood and energy I have at that time.
