1) What is your favorite mode of travel? (Car, train, plane, etc).- Oh man, I love trains so much. I have a serious THING for trains. My current temp job involves riding around Metra (long distance commuter) trains and counting passengers who get on/off at stations and it is SO EFFING COOL.
- 2) Where is the northernmost place you've traveled? The southernmost?
- Northernmost is Toronto, southernmost is
FloridaMelbourne, Australia. - 3) What is the last place you visited for the first time?
- Nesko (my husband) and I drove to Dallas/Fort Worth during January about five years ago. Other than that I've been to some distant suburbs of Chicago (where I live) recently, but haven't had very long stopovers.
- 4) Of all the places you've traveled, which is your favorite?
- Melbourne, Australia. Absolutely and definitely. I would love to go back. Maine was really nice, too.

- I have several places, actually! Within the US I'd like to visit friends in Boston,MA; Philly,PA; San Diego,CA; Seattle,WA; and Eugene, OR. Oh, and Fort Wayne,IN. Other than that, I'd love to return to Oz, visit New Zealand again, and travel through Montenegro which is the country my husband's family is from.

I think that 8 hours was the record, and I eventually got to my destination on a train that also contained everyone else who should have got one of the other trains in that 8 hour gap. This was due to the power lines melting. There was also a year-long run where every journey I made from London to visit my mother was subject to a delay of between half an hour and four hours, for reasons as various as fallen trees, children throwing stones at trains, ice, breakdowns, rogue goats and "someone has stolen the wires". Oh Britain! Every day and in every way you function less and less.
