The art and science of traveling

As I continue with my list based posts we move into the world of traveling. The age old question of how to get from point A to point B is constantly on our minds as we make our way up and down, back and forth across this fine country. We usually have a plan, sometimes we follow that plan and, so far, we have always made it to our destination. At this point in our travels we have ridden the roads, sailed the seas and soared through the air by the following methods - rides in personal cars, taxis, tro tros (mini vans converted into 18 seat public transportation vehicles), mini buses, real buses, motorcycles, the back of a truck (converted into a public transportation vehicle with benches and everything), the top of a cocoa truck (surprisingly or not, also converted into a strange form of public transportation), bicycles, ferries, giant canoe ferries with multiple outboard motors, normal canoes, planes, and straight up walking. Despite sea sickness, car sickness, jet lag and plain old tiredness we can say with certainty that we have seen this country.
