Wednesday Travel (I can't think of clever titles)

Hey look it's Wednesday. Almost forgot!

So yesterday was my birthday! Yay!

I'm rather scatterbrained today, so you'll have to forgive me.

Okay, something that is awesome this week:

Road trips!
I have been on so many road trips in my life, I can't even tell you. But I can honestly say I've loved every single one. I know that a lot of my friends can't stand being in a car for more than, say, two hours, but I personally am of the opinion that a long car ride makes everything more fun.

Reason #1 that road trips are awesome: Catching up on reading! I always feel like I'm behind on whatever books I'm reading. But just hop in a car for a few hours and I'll read three books in one trip! Well, depending on how long the trip is.

Reason #2 that road trips are awesome: Adventure! I love the fact that I can get in a car, spend all day there, and end up somewhere completely different. And what makes it different than airplanes is that on a road trip, you get to watch as the landscape changes and you travel towards your destination.

Aaaaaand reason #3 that road trips are awesome: Bonding time!!!! It doesn't matter if you're not even talking most of the trip, you're still spending hours upon end with the same people and that brings you closer together! Spending time together with family or friends or whoever is always more fun if it's on a road trip.

Disclaimer: I've never driven on a road trip.... So I'm not sure how that would affect my opinion.

That all being said, I also love airplanes.... I'm a sucker for travel. When I graduate college I plan on backpacking through Europe. And then I've got to hit Tokyo and Beijing and New Zealand and .... Everywhere else, too. =P

Questions!
1.) If you could travel to any time period, which one would it be?
Normally my answer is the 1950s, but normally the question is which decade. Since you broadened it to any time period, I might say the 1880s.

2.) What fictional planet would you travel to?
Although I love Star Wars and I saw the Star Trek movie and loved that, I do not claim to be any sort of sci fi nerd. That being said, I suppose I'll go with Magrathea from H2G2.

3.) Favourite time travel/ space travel movie?
Back to the Future? I reiterate that I have not seen many sci fi movies. =P

More Questions!
1.) Favorite form of transportation?
2.) What country other than the US would you most like to live?
3.) Where have you traveled outside of the US?
