The Longest trip
Posted on June 11th, 2008 by jrtobi under Commuter Rants
Because flying by plane is much expensive than riding a ship, my family prefer the later. If the purpose of your trip is you are a tourist, riding a ship is recommended because you will see a lot of beautiful scenery and landmarks. Although it only takes 45 minutes to go to our destination by air against the 18 hours by the sea, still we choose the later again because it is much cheaper. The longest and the last trip I made by a ship was when I was ten years old. After that incident, I never ever rode a ship again. Our 18 hour trip turned into a 48 hour trip. One of the ship’s engines malfunctioned. We stopped three times in the sea. I was so scared because I do not know how to swim. I was young then so I won’t know on how to react on disasters such as that. Thankfully, nothing happened to the other ship’s engines or else we would be lost at the sea and the waves will just push us in any direction.
