This is F5… I’m going in.
That’s right… it’s the return of the Friday Five!
1) If you had to move 100 miles or more to the north, east, west, or south, which would you choose, where would you end up, and what’s so great about there?
Good question, particularly since I’m exactly where I want to be right now. But if the Bay Area was wiped off the map? One of these: NYC, Los Angeles, San Diego, Philly, Seattle.
2) Do you have a favorite stretch of highway or byway for driving, touring, or wandering?
No, but I always get a nice wave of nostalgia as I drive through Orange County on I-5.
3) Are you happier to start a trip or return home?
Those initial hours in which the entire trip is still ahead of you can be quite magical. So, “starting.”
4) Plane, train, automobile, bicycle, or foot?
I like driving quite a lot. For most trips I’m happy to take the car, but when the drive time starts ticking upwards of five hours, I start really wishing I’d flown.
5) Do you overplan or underplan your travels? (Assume that “no” is not a valid answer.)
Underplan. “Here’s what I definitely want to hit; the rest I’ll make up as I go along.”
