As a tourist the fastest and perhaps
the most comfortable way to travel
long distances is by air. You can sit
back and relax, read, or even watch a
video. Of course you have to pay
more money and run the risk of
being delayed. Some people refuse
to fly for fear of accidents. However,
according to statistics it is a safe way
to travel
Perhaps the most convenient way to travel
is by car, simply because you decide when
and where to stop. You have the freedom
to organise your own timetable so there’s
no danger of missing appointments.
However, you may need somebody else to
help share the driving, a good map reader
and petrol money. There is also that the
car will break down or you will feel travel
sick.
Travelling by ship is often the cheapest
form of travel. Unlike other means of
transport you have the chance to move
around on or below deck. Large ship
often have shops, T.V. lounges and
restaurants so there’s plenty to do.
However, a sea voyage is a slowest way
to get to your destination and should
be avoided if you suffer from sea
sickness.

A train journey is often the best way

to see a country. You can sit back
and enjoy the view or have a meal
in the restaurant car. For long
journeys you can reserve a bed in a
sleeping compartment. However
you may be delayed or miss your
connection. It is also not the fastest
or cheapest way to travel.

house when you think “Did I forget anything?”. Does it sound familiar?

your flight number when you check in.
