The Daily Post recently posted a prompt asking: if you had to travel 500 miles, would you choose to do it in a plane, a train or an automobile?
I am afraid of flying. I travel by plane several times a year, but I am terrified every single time. My heart starts racing the moment I get to the airport and by the time I’m boarding the plane I am adding up the numbers on my ticket just to make sure they don’t add up to an ‘unlucky’ number. Normal, everyday Davinia doesn’t believe in things like unlucky numbers, but once my numbers added up to 23 and I spent the entire three hours on the plane willing it to stay in the air.
And don’t even get me started on turbulence…
So, yeah – while I use planes a hell of a lot, I don’t enjoy them in the least.
And cars? Well, I enjoy driving my little car around Malta, where you get from one side of the island to the other in just over an hour if there’s minimal traffic. But long trips? I don’t think I could spend that long in a car.
So here’s to trains! We don’t have any trains in Malta because the distances aren’t long enough, so when I get to ride the train abroad, I’m like a kid! I watch as the scenery whooshes past, and I do a lot of reading. Sometimes, I’ll think to myself, “Hey! I’m on a train! Woohoo!”
