Finding a place to sleep
Throughout most of our lives we have reason to travel. The mode and the destination provide the majority of the details. However I do want to reflect for a little bit on where I have slept. On the city bus is a poor place to sleep. Too many starts and stops and too much stress over missing my proper corner. Once we get out of this city things improve. I have slept on the intercity bus but that was rare. Most of my moments have been spent on more professional modes of travel. By rail is wonderful. Trains tend to have proper beds. There is even someone to wake you before your stop. While on a ship you may even have a small room with proper bed sheets and a pillow. True comfort. The few times I have traveled by air I have had to wait for the moments of white-knuckle stress to pass at the start and the finish of the trip. Little time to really sleep. I have been unable to get a chance to travel on anything more exotic although I did have an afternoon with a dog sled. No sleep there. Too cold and the dogs tipped on barking. Actually, I did make one trip on a train in the baggage car. I had found some dogs kept prisoner in cages and I spent my time trying to make friends. It was a different time and there was not much staff to interfere period. As I mentioned the other message of travel do not lead to sleep. Believe me on a bicycle all of your time is spent keeping your balance. I am sure there are other methods but I will probably not have any occasion to try them.
