1. You’re planning a trip that would be an eight-hour car ride, a four-hour train ride, or a two-hour plane ride. With money and time being no object, which would you most likely choose and why?

Up until three years ago, I'd've said fly without hesitation. I might take the train, but if I add Beast to the equation, it turns into a no-brainer: we drive. Sigh.

2. Has your worst travel experience been on a plane, on a bus or in a car?

Depends on how I define "worst." Bumpiest and sick-makingest (child): car + mountains + Dad's refusal to stop the car. Bumpiest and sick-makingest (child): plane + mountains + flight attendant on Quaaludes (altho' I did throw up on a train once, I would attribute that more to nerves and lack of food than the trip itself). Worst overall travel experience: Beijing to Irkutsk on an unclean Russian train with limited food, nothing much safe to drink, and constantly decreasing heat. In January.

I don't ride on buses. I literally can only ride a bus for 20 minutes or so before becoming very nauseous and motion sick.

3. Of the following modes of transportation, which one are you most likely to be able to sleep in as a passenger? When did you last doze in that vehicle?

I don't see a list here, but I can sleep anywhere as long as there is motion. The difficulty on airplanes is the limited space to droop over at all. I dozed off in the car the other day while my son was driving. Horrors!

4. Of that same list, which one would you least likely to be able to sleep in as a passenger? What’s the biggest stumbling block to your being able to sleep that way?

Oops. I believe I already answered this.

5. Take the quiz: What Type of Transportation Are You?

I'm a rocket. Go figure.

6. In you response to the quiz, which single line best describes you?

"You're so weird that you're practically out of this world."
