Sitting in the drivers seat of your favorite car going down the open highway or the relaxing “pilots” chair of your RV or the balcony of the suite in the cruise ship or lastly, the seat at the gate at your local airport. No matter what your preference is, it seems like there is someone who enjoys each of these very different traveling options.

I prefer getting on a plane and resting while on my way to a vacation spot but there are people who like to experiment with the not so standard traveling options such as RVs or even driving to a camp site with their favorite coleman tents ready to weather what the night will bring.

To me the idea of outdoor travel or vacationing just doesn’t seem luxurious enough and I understand that its not meant to be luxurious but I just can’t seem to come to terms with vacationing at a camp site. I wonder how many people still prefer camping as their choice of vacation travel and if so, aside from some of the popular destinations and some of the normal camp site activities – wood fire, hiking, biking, etc, what would be something more adventurous that people do nowadays.

Recently I read that due to the harsh economic times, some families are turning to camping and I questioned how many people actually do go camping. I also read that Coleman was the most preferred brand for camping equipment and it would be tough to argue with that – with everything from inflatable rafts, tents, flashlights, Coleman seems to accommodate most camping needs.

The question that comes to mind is – what is your preferred method of travel? and if you are a camper, what kind of activities do you indulge in?
