The last couple days I have made some lists regarding where I would like to go and what I would like to see. One of them is my list of different modes of transportation. This ended up being a much longer list then I thought it would be. There are a couple extra credit ones at the end because they don’t run anymore. I would like to take them all (except the disqualifier).
How many have you taken?
Walking – walking from bar to bar doesn’t count, from town to town does
Bicycle – even one of those city tours counts it’s a great way to see a city
Rollerblade – Some cities have regularly scheduled roller blade events
Rickshaw – human powered, go dude go!
Scooter/moped – It may be more exhilarating than you think
Motorcycle – no big scooters are not motorcycles
Car - no brainer, easy points to get you started.
Bus – tour bus, rural bus, chicken bus
Jeepney – colorful variant of a bus
Plane, jet– another no brainer
Bush Plane – check your life insurance first
Parasail/glider – anything where you hang from a clothe kite
Spaceship – Spaceship Two the ultimate in awesomeness
Train – last freebie
Top of train – for those young enough to
Tram – enclosed cable car
Trolley/streetcar – San Francisco’s gets you extra points
Subway – some are better then others
Ship – Cruise, cargo or other
Sailboat -anything powered with a sail
Ferry – ship that takes cars
Catamaran ferry – fast ferry that uses hydrofoils
Canoe/kayak – self powered tiny boat
Dugout – hollowed out tree with or without a motor
Reed boat – Similar to those used on Lake Titicaca
Canal barge – slow boat down canal
Wagon/oxcart – All the time to take in the scenery
Donkey – would you rather walk back up from the Grand Canyon?
Horse – give yourself extra points if you can handle a rope or bolo
Yak – can you ride a yak?
Elephant – travel like Hannibal
Disqualifier
Unicycle – if you do it dressed as a mime or magician
Extra credit
Concord – for those more ‘seasoned’ jetsetters
Hover ferry – Ferry that hovered on air.
EDIT Added one so it’s now 32 Ways of Traveling
Camel – I can’t believe I forgot Camel

That is a seriously impressive list. Good luck on the spaceship…
I’d dang near sell a kidney to to that!
