The Joys of Modern day Travel

 

I cannot begin to imagine how long distance travel used to be pre-modern day means of travel. History has it that people walked or used domesticated animals to travel to places. For intercontinental travel, they used sail boats - most of which could not carry heavy loads. The automotive and aviation industries have revolutionized the way people travel to far and near places.

Journeys that would take days, weeks, and months are now covered in less than twenty four hours or slightly over that. For example, the longest long haul flight - from Singapore to New Jersey- takes about 18hrs 30mins. This was unimaginable decades ago. It is safe to say that, humans have taken flight and are now flying with the birds.
