I do travelling in any manner. I have traveled by car, two wheeler, bus, flight and train for long distances. I rather like to say the two wheeler experience was the best. It was with friends to a hill stations with sharp hair pin bends. I loved it and we drove safely. Apart from that we as a family take two long trips in a year to some place in my state. It will be either a temple or a hill station. We prefer the hill station during the summer and we have flower shows, lake rides and many more during that time. Please share your thoughts about your experience.

Yes i did. The longest travel i had by car was last May. It took us 8 hours drive and that was tiring at the same time fulfilling. The place was really great. But if i travel across the island we prefer the plane. Because staying in the middle of the sea isn't feel good for me. I am scared. And around the city, i took the train so there wouldn't be the traffic.

I used to do this a lot, but I don't really do this anymore since I prefer to go abroad instead these days. But it can be a lot of fun to travel in a car, depending on where you go, for sure!

Yes, I do.. but when I got a disease, i am not enjoying long trips anymore.. i would rather stay here at home and take a rest.. i easily get exhausted even just sitting in the passenger seat... plus, i tend to panic whenever i am feeling weird or whenever i am feeling sick.. yay! i missed going to out-of-town trips with hubby and family (batangas, laguna, quezon, subic, etc)...

Yes xoricanz, me, my brother and my parents drove 893.8 kms from the place where we live to our native city. It was fun, and we had a halt for one night. Took us two days of travelling to reach and it was a nice experience. I wasn't old enough otherwise i would tried to make things easier for my dad and my brother is younger than me. I had to appreciate dad driving for so many hours in those days. Driving can be tiring if the journey is too long. And i believe almost 900 kms is quite some distance. Two wheelers wear out more easily if you ride this distance, however cruiser bikes are built for it. I like them.

Long distance travel is very tiresome. Although using a car can let you see the beauty of the countryside but still the body cannot handle of too much pressure in handling the wheels. The body will surely ache and in pain at the end the journey. I prefer riding in a bus or boat or plane. Its too comforting. All I have to do is rest, sleep and wake ready for taking the meals.

The longest time I have traveled using a car is about 3 hours. That is the farthest already in our area considering that I live in an island. Unlike the States, our country is divided into different islands. Though there are those that are large wherein someone could ride the car for 5 to 6 hours travel, our island is not that big. So when I want to travel to the end point starting from the city, then it would only take three hours. Although you can proceed to the neighboring island with the car on board the boat... I have not done that so far.

Yes, I do travel daily by car for around 80 kms. Apart from that, I do inter-state travel very less.

Sometimes during holidays I'll travel long distance. Currently, the longest time traveled by car was about 8 hours. However, I don't like to travel by car. I prefer by plane as it's more fun and that, I LIKE PLANES!!!

Yes,i love travelling with our own car,the convenience is less far than communicating.
And,the longest travel i did with driving our own car is 8 hours.
It was a long drive but full of fun and adventure.
And,we always travel during school vacation.

I do not have a driver's license, because I think that it is not for me and too many people who are mentally not fit for it have one. But I also traveled long distances with car, together with my friends or family. I also traveled by train, I think this is the best way to travel long distances when we are with lots of friends. We have time to have a great time together, to talk, to have fun. I think long train rides can bound great connections between friends, they got to know each other better and find out some secrets from their life. Usually I go with my friends to the Black Sea and have a great time there, with all the people that are there and so on.
