Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a modern airliner （客机） you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.

Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable （时间表）. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night.
