1. What's the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?

New England. A three-day swing through Massachussetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. No, I'm not running in any presidential primary. Yes, it was hell.

2. What's the most bizarre/unusual thing that's ever happened to you while traveling?

Hmm. I blogged on this just yesterday. Fancy that. Not much to it, but frankly, I like my travel free of bizarre events.

3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?

Space. And not just a wussy near-Earth orbit -- it'd be at least as far as the Moon, but Mars would be far cooler (literally and metaphorically.)

4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?

Depends on how far I have to go. Going cross-country, or indeed any farther than a day's drive, the train rules -- hands down, no contest.

5. What's the next place on your list to visit?

Gettysburg. I must tour that battlefield. It's a moral imperative - I'm an American, after all.

And I'll stop at a peaceful field near Shanksville, too.

That's my Friday Five.
