There's not a new one this week, so I'm taking my questions from August 8, 2003. Why? Because I can :-) BTW, the CAR should be in my grubby little hands tomorrow morning at 1100! I can't wait!
1. What's the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?
London, 2 weeks ago. It was great!
2. What's the most bizarre/unusual thing that's ever happened to you while traveling?
I've seen a lot of crazy things in my travels. The one that immediately comes to mind is what we witnessed during the 3-hour wait to cross the border from Morocco back into Melilla (Spanish town in North Africa). Smugglers make up a lot of the foot traffic, and we got to watch some cops fight with some guys trying to smuggle stuff across in a refrigerator. Once the cops had the prime two on the ground and started to get them under control, other smugglers started throwing rocks at the police to try and save their friends. Very un-first world, if you catch my drift.
3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?
Some kind of island resort in the Caribbean or Pacific, one of those posh private ones where you have a huge house and a staff at your disposal.
4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?
Each has its advantages. Clearly planes are the fastest vehicles, but when you factor in all of the waiting time and driving to far away airports, it's not quite as fast as it seems. Cars offer the most flexibility but require a lot more work, especially in unfamiliar places.
5. What's the next place on your list to visit?
Lanzarote, Canary Islands, in 2 weeks, but we're trying to get out to Granada as well to see the Alhambra, so that may be first.
