I get motion-sickness on buses and trains, in cars if I'm not driving, on small boats, and occaisonally while I'm walking (just kidding about the last one!). I do like the subway, except when it's too hot or crowded. But it's one of the only places I don't get sick- I guess because I can't see the passing scenery, and there aren't many sudden stops and starts or curves. Flying is the best- I've only been sick once while flying, and I'm pretty sure I had a stomache virus, isn't was the flying itself! Of course it didn't make much difference to my two friends who were sitting beside me eating breakfast when I had to make use of the barf bag…

But unfortunately, flying is horrible for the environment. I read that one plane flying from New Zealand to London spews the same amount of pollution as 80 SUVs do in a year!!! Unbelievable! Of course, for long trips, it's basically the only option… I refuse to go on cruise ships, because they're so horrible for the environment, but airplanes… I can't give those up yet! Not until they come out with this baby, anyhow!

What's your favorite way to travel?
