As a fiction writer, all I need is a laptop, and when I’m not teaching, I travel as much as I can, applying for every research grant and overseas gig I hear of, then trying to extend those trips as far as the stipends will go. I love to travel alone.
We see this in legislations such as SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, IPRED, IPRED2, TPP, TRIPS, just to name a few. All of these legislations have the same goal – make sure that the control of the Internets goes to the rich people that already have some sort of control outside of the Internets.
I routinely make trips to China and India where we have offices to continue to maintain the linkages that are necessary to run a successful business.
When you’re on official trips it’s not a vacation, it’s serious work.
I really was the nerd in the car that read vocabulary books. If we were going on day trips, I would quite like to have just stayed in the car with my German and French vocab books. It’s embarrassing to admit to it now.
This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.
I don’t know about you, but I love going on trips – especially with my family.
Doing field trips rather than simply researching online allows me to experience the story from the point of view of my main character; you can’t get that by sitting at a desk.
One day a week should be set aside for field trips.
I go on a good many adventure-type trips. Whenever I go on one, it’s always potentially going to be the setting for one of my books. I pay more attention to certain aspects than some other people might. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don’t. Most of the books I write are based on experiences I’ve had to some extent.
One of my favorite road trips of all time was here, in Australia, in Western Oz.
I am obsessed with planning travel! Not just traveling, which I love, but the whole planning process and all the details that go into it. I subscribe to all these travel blogs and airline forums and research hotels and activities and destinations for hours on end, and I volunteer to plan trips for everyone I know.
Still teenagers, Harry and Peter Brant II have never disappointed when I’ve seen them out and about in New York, Paris, and Venice (Which is where all schoolkids go on field trips, right?) They’re not afraid of wearing brooches, capes, embroidery, and even a dab-bing of makeup.
I’ve never been without a dog. I’ve made trips across the country with a dog.
I have always loved science fiction. One of my favorite shows is ‘Star Trek.’ I like the trips, where it drops my mind off, because they give you a premise and all of a sudden, you say, ‘Oh!’ and I’m fascinated by it.
A typical day in the Senate requires several trips to the Senate floor and back, although the journey is usually underground so that on some days, once I arrive at work, I never see the sun.
Lobbyists and special interests continue to take advantage of loopholes that allow them to host lavish receptions and pay for trips for members of Congress. Those practices represent exactly what’s wrong with Washington, and I’m committed to ending them.
Crucial to science education is hands-on involvement: showing, not just telling; real experiments and field trips and not just ‘virtual reality.’
I haven’t moved to Pakistan, but I love it here and I always keep extending my trips.
Mum and Dad have come to Sydney to see me off on the two trips to Wimbledon. Each time I thought I mustn’t cry ‘cos that’ll start Mum off. Each time I really bawled, and then she started up.
It was an unknown thing, a lot of people had very bad trips and I like to be in control.
I delight in my family obligations, but they leave little time for breaks let alone quick trips across the country.
The big reason why we don’t have space colonies and regular trips to the moon is that flying into outer space is just plain ‘hard.’ The business of safely transporting people off the Earth is a costly affair that requires a lot of technology.
It’s true to say that once I’ve got the bare bones of a story, I often get ideas from my own research trips to faraway places.
I’m the type of person who far prefers a vacation filled with trips to museums and art galleries, shopping and exploring vintage flea markets, people-watching at cafes, and discovering delicious restaurants as opposed to lounging on a beach for days on end.
I don’t mind long, extended trips to warm weather destinations.
As a writer, I spend a lot of time alone, and I like it. I’m also a long-distance runner, and I love long, solo road trips; I can drive literally all night, drinking coffee, and not even listening to the radio, just strangely content sifting through the random thoughts in my own head.
Oh, you know. I am secretary of state. My trips aren’t successful. I just talk to people.
I wasn’t a musical-theater kid. We went to plays at school and took field trips to see Shakespeare. And that really sparked that fire for me, and so that’s still going, and I haven’t given up on it.
Cities offer us powerful leverage on our most stubborn, wasteful practices. Long commutes in our cars, big power bills from our energy-hogging buildings, shopping trips to buy stuff that’ll spend a few short months in our homes and long centuries in our landfills.
A little bit about my family: We didn’t really come from much, and we didn’t take family trips to California, so my first trip to California was actually my first day of school.
Most of us in the baby-boom generation were raised by full-time mothers. Even as recently as 14 years ago, 6 out of 10 mothers with babies were staying at home. Today that is totally reversed. Does that mean we love our children less than our mothers loved us? No, but it certainly causes a lot of guilt trips.
I rarely step on sidewalk cracks. I don’t wear a watch. I touch my favorite tree before going on long trips.
I have zero tolerance for people who don’t come completely prepared. I expect contribution, I expect attendance, and I expect directors to take trips and visit the company’s programs.
Having made the trip from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean myself going up up up against twenty-five hundred miles of the Missouri River, I can testify that it’s one of the most arduous trips that anyone can make on this continent and yet I had a power boat to do it in.
I grew up listening to my father argue politics into the night and taking trips every Saturday to the Hood River library where my mother maintained her interest in reading and encouraged the same from her sons.
On my early trips to London and Paris, in 2009, I started to shift to more wide-brimmed felt hats similar to Borsalinos and Stetsons.
Common sense solutions to lowering your gasoline bills can go far. Carpooling, taking fewer or shorter road trips, and ensuring that your tires are fully inflated can all help stop the pinch at the pump.
In my many trips to South Africa, I have met and spoken to a lot of people there, and they all seem to find apartheid as repellent as you would.
Traveling with my husband is great as he is a sponge for new languages and tries to learn them on our trips.
My father was a painter, so I was encouraged to take a sketchbook everywhere. Cameras are perishable, but I still have tonnes of sketchbooks from all the trips I’ve ever been on. It gets you by when you don’t know what to give people as a gift; drawings are good souvenirs.
I found my own orthodontist, my own high school. I set up interviews and did college trips. Despite her incredible concern and caring, my mom didn’t have the capacity for that. It was outside her experience, and she knew I was on top of it.
Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures.
Every few months, I would take off to the U.S., which had people wondering why I went away so often. My trips were always to meet my spiritual guru, Maaji, who is based in the U.S. I would always come back with clear mind and sure footing.
All of a sudden we were going on school trips, seeing these amazing plays by the likes of Samuel Beckett. My whole world went from ‘This is really fun’ to ‘This is fascinating to me’.
By the time the United States went to war with Afghanistan in the fall of 2001, I had made three trips to the country. I covered the fall of the Taliban in Kandahar and have been returning routinely for the past 14 years.
Myself, I happen to be married to an African-American woman, and we’re together 17 years. We took a few trips to the South 15 years ago, and we were sobered by some of the reactions people had – how subtle or not-so-subtle their reactions were.
I think the first Broadway show that I saw was ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ and that was in 5th or 6th grade. Our school would take bus trips up to see shows, and so it was on one of their bus trips that I got to see ‘Beauty and the Beast.’
I’ll be honest, acting in a commercial film has its perks – crazy stardom, crazy money and frequent trips abroad – but why would I aspire for something I’m not cut out for?
Improving our transportation infrastructure reduces car trips, helps us reach our carbon emission reduction goals, is healthier for our residents, and saves lives. Too often in the past we have been slow to make these common sense improvements to our streets.
