Well, public transport doesn't go everywhere. :) It's not actually that great in Britain, while still seeming miraculous to me from the rural Midwest.

I haven't been on a bus or train since March last year so I've been very grateful for diffrentcolours and his car or I wouldn't have gone further than I can walk in all that time, because otherwise that's all I've done: walk to work or the store or the park or the pharmacy.

But even without that, I do love road trips, always have. Even as a kid I was apparently content and well-behaved even on those long rides to Colorado or Washington (both places I had family) or whatever. As a teenager I realized I'd neverbe able to drive and I was sad about that because I really. wanted to be able to do those kinds of trips myself. I do like inter-city train trips too, but differently.
