Train or Planes
When traveling over land there are three main ways of doing so, a flight, a train ride, or driving yourself. I guess you could walk or run but, I'm talking about cross country travel. There are expensive and inexpensive ways of travel, some fast, some slow, most fun, others boring. Out of these three ways you must decide how you want to go baste on your budget, time, and the quality of travel you prefer.

The fastest way of travel would be by plane. If time is a major issue, a flight would be the best mode of transportation for you. A flight can also be easier to schedule, there are hundreds of flights leaving every half-hour, in every direction from and to almost every airport in the world. Besides being fast and convenient, studies have shown it's also safer. Statistics show air travel as one of the safest ways to travel, baste on its passenger to crash ratio. The down fall is a flight is also the most expensive way to travel out of the three. A flight from California to New York (round trip) could cost anywhere from $500.00 to $2,500.00+, depending on which class (or section) you purchase your ticket for. On most commercial planes there are three sections of seating, where you sit depends on your willingness to pay. There's first class; which is very luxurious. This is the most expensive section to sit in. It has more leg room, larger and softer chairs, better service, and hand prepared meals instead of the processed food the rest of the plane gets. Next is coach or business class; which is the middle section, it's somewhat luxurious. You get some leg room, descent service but, you still get processed food. For anyone who wants real food better spend a little extra money and fly first class. At the back of the plane you'll find the economy class; which is one of the cheaper ways to fly. The service isn't great, the leg room is non-existent, and you're one of the last people to get off of the plane when it lands. So, you're one of the last ones to get to the

    Two hundred years ago the only way to get from one place to another was to walk or depend on an animal like a horse or ox to take us where we needed to go.

Many people traveled great distances on the oceans. As time progressed and inventions…

    To travel to any place, for example, from UPLB to Enchanted Kingdom, one may take the jeepney or drive his private vehicle. Of course, this trip must have been planned and prepared for beforehand. Either through commute or carpool, land transportation generally use automobiles powered by fuel that pass through roads that lead to a specific destination.

    Traveling can be a hassle, especially if you are planning a trip for a big family, or even just for a couple’s getaway. In the United States, many people assume that planning a vacation locally is more convenient simply because they can easily get on a car and go. However, it can be as easy to get in a plane and travel to a foreign country instead of staying in the same country, and this can be even cheaper than taking a local vacation. Off course, it is true that some countries are even more expensive than the United States, but there are many countries around the world that are very cheap, and a two or three-week vacation in one of those countries, including the plane tickets, would cost less for the same amount of the time spending in almost any city in the U.S. for a vacation.…
