Question
there are numerous modes of long distance transportation.there is flying,riding a train (amtrak),riding a bus (greyhound),renting a car,
driving my own vehicle.can you list them from cheapest to most expensive?and would you also take into account other expenses when traveling overland?like food and lodging?

Answer
The answer to your question is based on where you are going, at what time of the year, how quickly you need to get where you need to be, and how much money you have to spend to get you there !!!!  So, until I know more about where you live and what your destination is, I cannot tell you if your own car is cheaper than amtrak or Greyhound ....

I have travelled on business to 37 countries in the past 4 years -- visiting 4 or 5 major cities in one 7-day trip ! All this out of Chicago (my home base). I can assist with itinerary planning, suggestions what to pack, how to get to locations, and can answer general questions about what to do during non-work time, and how to survive "on your own" on the road. I have a few "tips" on how to make a 7 to 10 hour plane ride more comfortable, less jet-lagged and what to take on board to assist.
