Advice for Women Travelers:
Transportation Choices

 
Getting from point A to point B takes patience. Treat transportation as part of your vacation/adventure. Create ways to enjoy the journey, and anticipate potential problems, most of which will arise from something related to your transportation: make a great mix on whatever you have for your music, have a great book to read while waiting for trains, have some munchies always available, etc.). Take silly selfies throughout an airport. Run the wrong way on an empty escalator. Sing.

If you don't treat transportation as part of your vacation/adventure, the result will be that delays, getting lost, and other problems will be much harder to deal with, even soul-crushing. Why let a layover in an airport ruin your whole trip?
Some Advice Re: Motion Sickness

I suffer from motion sickness. It gets worse every year. I can sit in the back of a car only for short distances, and have to ask the driver not to take curves too quickly. I cannot read in a car under any circumstances -- I can't even read messages on my cell phone. I can't sit backwards on a train, and can't read on a train except at night, and then only if it's not going through too many turns. A gently swaying ferry will ruin the day for me. The back of a bus is out of the question for me. I can't even watch movies that shake around too much.

Of course, when I travel, I cannot absolutely control all of my transportation conditions, and can't avoid all of the above situations. So, when I take a trip, I have to take a lot of preventatives so that motion sickness doesn't ruin my trip:
