SUV mainly because or towing capabilities when needed. Sedan is more comfortable though. Important if traveling long distances.
Cruise ship or trans-oceanic cargo liner voyage? (Upwards to 5,000-6,000 people vs. max or 12 with a voyage measured in weeks, even months to rarely visited ports vice a voyage measured in days to overcrowded, overvisited tourist destinations.)
Real fireplace. There is something about the crackling of wood as it burns in the fireplace and smelling of wood burning, the latter even more outside along with smoke waffing from the chimney.
Fossil fuel or electric vehicle?
I have musicians I listen to regularly and listen to most of their albums. My musical interests, however, are mostly baroque and classical periods with occasional forays into rock and country, mostly 60s-80s, as that is what my parents listened to, and it has grown on me. Also, like music from the 'big band era', like the Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong, the last three jazz greats.
Vinyl record, CD, or streaming service like Spotify?
Short stories. Novel would require more concentration than I believe I'm capable of right now.
Actually book or E-book?
Electric with rechargeable battery. Has to be cordless. (Same with snow blower BTW)
Fenced-in or open yard?
Rake in front yard and back yard next to house. Leaving them on ground in back yard further away, under the trees. Helps sustain the soil.
Prune bushes or let them grow?
Use my phone for now, mainly for convenience. Modern phone cameras are getting more sophisticated so less important to have a stand-alone camera with all the attachments.
White wine or red wine? (Do your pair yours with the meals?)
One country at a time, please. Immerse yourself. Do the non-touristy, country-side stuff and get a real view and flavor of the country you're visiting. Avoid the crowds if at all possible.
Wine or Beer?
Definite, see the sights. Drinking has never been a big draw for me, even when I was younger. (Like to keep my wits about me!)
Tour on your own or as part of a tour group with a guide?
I am depressed since my oldest daughter started kindergarten this year. Constantly thinking about her while she's at school. Like part of me - and my family - is missing. Even if it is temporary.
Mountains, mainly because lakes breed insects, lots of insects.
Mountain biking or cross-country.
Enjoy the quiet, especially if in nature.
Swimming, placid lake or running river?
