Friday Five

The Friday Five courtesy of thefridayfive:

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 Florida Melbourne, 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.

5) Where would you most like to travel to next?

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.

My big dream is for Chicago (and Illinois and the entire midwest and the whole of the USA) to expand their mass transit/train lines because HELLO! TRAINS! THEY ARE SO AWESOME! And not prey to traffic jams the way that cars are.

I'd finance the buildout of a North American high speed rail system myself if I could, just so I could use it. Sadly, I seem to be lacking the required grillion dollars, though. ^^;

I know, right?

There was so much opposition in Spain but it's really changed the country for the better. Economy, culture, everything.
