REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Stay on the GroundWhat was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?
Mary Beth Carlini 4/09/2019 1:35 PMRoad trip from Detroit, Michigan to Tampa, Florida. Spring break trip to Florida traveling by car. Travel by air would have been much quicker but would not have allowed me to see parts of our beautiful county. In the future air travel can be avoided by traveling by car, train, or boat.
