Journal 4- Traveling

I have not traveled very much in my life, really the only place that I've been to that is more than like three hours away from home is Florida. I have been to Florida three times. Twice I have gone with my friends and one time I went with my family. I went twice with my friends. We went with a group of people from my church for a church camp thing. It was at Panama City Beach. The beach was beautiful and we had some very good weather. We went swimming in the ocean every day and it was really fun. The only part that wasn't very fun was the drive over. We took some big buses, and it took us forever to get there. It took us about two days to drive down to Panama City Beach but it was worth it when we got there. The other time that I went to Florida was with my family. We took a plane down to Florida and then did a bunch of fun stuff when we were there. Taking a plane was way faster than driving down to Florida. It only took us a few hours while driving took us two days. I think that paying a little extra for a plane is definitely worth it because it was more comfortable and I do not like sitting for a very long time. Plus driving gets boring and flying is more exciting. The downside to flying is that it takes a lot more preparing. You have to buy tickets for the flight and you have to make sure all your suitcases will be the right size and weight. You have to make sure that you have a car to rent when you get to your destination and you also have to be sure that you are on time for your flight. When you fly, you are on somebody else's schedule. You have to be at the airport on time and you have to do everything by their schedule. When you drive, you have a lot more freedom because you can make stops whenever you want and sometimes that can make the trip more interesting. You can stop at some cool places or just take breaks from the driving whenever you want. So I guess there are the goods and bad sides about any way of traveling, but I prefer flying over driving.
