table topic #9


in keeping with today's travel theme, here is this week's table topic. this one is from the "travel topics to go" edition:

9. Would you most like to have joined Lewis & Clark, the Apollo 11 astronauts or Christopher Columbus?

call me Sacagawea, because i have to go with Meriwether & William on this one. yes, i was just in the Pacific Northwest - true Lewis & Clark territory - and i always love it. but the pioneering spirit - not to mention the camping - leads me toward this expedition over the others. 

as for Apollo 11, despite knowing that it all turns out OK for tom hanks, i think it'd be a bit too scary for me. and i'd imagine that the the whole scurvy thing would be annoying with Columbus. 

incidentally - follow-up for any columbus fans out there - i'd be curious to know which ship you'd have wanted to be on...i think i'd go Santa Maria.

um, can i pick "none of the above"?

if forced, i'd go with lewis & clark. the other two are too scary.

i hope there are some nice hotels along the route....

Apollo 11. They had astronaut ice cream back then, right?

Umm, if we suspend disbelief that i would ever do any of the above (would never happen), i suppose Columbus and on the Santa Maria- being the largest vessel--
