know & tell … travel edition!
1. What is your favorite mode of transportation (flying, train, car, boat, etc.)? Why?
I love to fly. Well, I don’t love to fly… but I love getting there quickly and I love walking around the airport and watching people coming and going and wondering about that and well, driving is just too much work. Although I do drive just about everywhere so I guess it would technically be my favorite mode of transportation.
2. If you could fly like Superman, jump and swing like Spiderman, swing on vines like Tarzan or fly on an umbrella like Mary Poppins, which would you choose?
I’d choose Superman. I don’t have a practical need for scaling buildings, I live in a small town… there aren’t many vines around here and the umbrella thing just seems too old fashioned.
3. You’re driving down the road and you see a small cluster of people, all with their thumbs out hoping to hitch a ride with you. As you near the group you realize that the people standing there are Queen Elizabeth, Johnny Depp, Barrack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and John Grisham. You only have room for one person. Who would you pick up?
I couldn’t pick up Johnny Depp (I’d have to call Natalie to come pick him up!)… I’d probably pick up the queen. She’s old for goodness sakes and it’s hot here! She would be very grateful for a ride I’m sure.
4. What was the most memorable trip you’ve ever taken?
Probably our trip to Orlando. I remember every thing about that trip, it was so wonderful. I can recount all the days in my mind. It was one of the best weeks ever! Disney rules!
5. If you were planning a road trip with your best friend, where would you start, what would you stop to see and where would you end?
A road trip? Can’t we fly somewhere? Oh ok…. I’ll play along. I am not a fan of long drives, so there would be lots of stops. I think we’d drive to Florida and stop and see a few bloggy friends along the way.
6. You are able to transport yourself back to any time. What would it be and why?
This question is easy. And repetitive. It would be the week prior to Izzy‘s accident. I would have every security measure installed so that the accident would have been avoided. The fence would be there like it is now along with alarms everywhere. I’d probably even go as far as to get one of those kid leashes and strap her to me.
7. Would you have flown with the Wright Brothers when they first discovered air travel?
Absolutely not! I am in the camp of wait and let it become safe and well tested. Not a fan of trying something new that hasn’t been given all the safety thumbs up and even flying in the planes now is a little daunting, but I feel they are safe. (I watch the steward’s eyes, if they look calm I am calm… I figure they have been flying enough to know when to really be worried.)

Jodi’s last blog post..Friday Meme’s
Loved the way you though through #2 there. Very practical!
I’m sure The Queen highly appreciates your thoughtfulness, even if the chances of her being stranded on the side of the road with various celebrities is a little improbable.
Great answers. Bless you!

Those were great. I’m with you on #1. LOL at picking up the Queen–it depends on how far I’d have to take her. I don’t think I could stand the silence.

I think I’d choose the Queen too…but she wouldn’t like my not-so-clean car very much!
nancy face’s last blog post..Yesss! Mulan is the bomb!
I LOVE flying!!!! Like you, though, I think it’s more the get-there-much-faster thing that makes it my fav way to travel long distances. Too bad it’s not less expensive!
Elizabeth’s last blog post..Blogging is a gift
I LOVE everything about flying except the long walks to the boarding gate. But I do love people-watching, when the plane takes off and lands, chatting to passengers.
Oh it’s heaven.
I think I need to book my next holiday~!

Your answer to #4 only makes me about a thousand times more excited for our trip in November. Yahoo!!
Dawn’s Daily Life’s last blog post..The Things I Teach My Kids
I loved Jodi’s comment about you not picking up the antichrist! Too funny!
I might would say John Grisham because he’s from Mississippi and it might be fun to visit!
