After the near-midair, driving took a whole new perspective, especially for the moves to and from Kentucky. I did fly twice more...only to get the second vehicle both times. Two road-trips per move.dogboy said:I chose car as well and...nothing like a road trip.
These times, I got to encounter, interact more with my surroundings. Yes, there's a bit of mental "compression" when you're on the move, but at least when you drive, you get breaks...a change to mingle with the surroundings. To decompress, expand. Buy a t-shirt or shot-glass, eat, sleep, check out the highest point of the interstate you're on, the smallest official town along it (on I-80, both are 12 miles apart). There's a bit of dysphoria involved with air travel: so sterile, so much distance in so little time, your perspective of the distance from where you were after you land is skewed; with driving, you experience each and every mile more intimately...and upon arrival, your perspective of distance from where you were is a better one...a more realistic, less-disturbing one.
