i want to ask you, when do you love to travel? when it is raining or when the sun is up? i want to travel when it rains, but not as hard as if there was an incoming typhoon or any calamity. i just love the feeling that i travel while i see raindrops in my car window. i also enjoy it because you can see the real beauty of nature as you go on with your journey. so tell me about what do you like?

I usually prefer sunny days without rain when I travel. However I like the green landscape, pretty flowers and waterfalls in tropics. Tropical regions need rain and so I expect to see this happen. In Darwin in Australia I saw heard thunder and saw lightening. The weather gave such an atmosphere and the temperature was so warm and made me feel sticky. When I was in the Seychelles I was swimming in the sea when it began to rain. It was delightful to feel the cool rain drops on my head whilst being in the warm ocean. I remember with fondness a night in a beach hut with a tin roof in Malaysia. The rain drops made a delightful noise when they came down. Magical!

Yes, there is nothing quite like swimming when it is raining. I am glad that you had a lovely time on your friend's birthday. I think that when the raindrops fall into the sea it is amazing how calm the ocean looks and the color of coral is a bit less colorful than normal.

hi! i tried swimming in a pool or in a sea while it rains. it's so lovely, isnt it? you feel that the sky and the sea are one. just last week, we celebrated my friend's birthday party in a beach when it suddenly rained! we were so amazed because the sea looked so calm even if it's already raining. thanks for the reply!

sunny days are nice too. a weather like that enables us to see the nature while we travel. here in the south, we have lots of plants and flowers planted along the way. they are so beautiful! but sadly, they cant be appreciated when it rains. yeah sunny days are fine too. thanks for the reply maximax!

I like it best when the day is windy during my travel. When it is hot, I will be all sweaty and when it rains I will feel all wet and can't go on with my walk so windy is the best. Drizzle is fine to me too.

a windy day is a nice day for traveling too. when it's how you feel so warm that all you think is that you should not sweat much. if it's raining, you cant just go to any place you want to. thanks for your reply skygal! and happy posting..

I love a nice sunny day as I have a convertable top and its so nice to have it down with the wind blowing thru your hair. Plus its an old car and if it rains the top leaks on me so I end up wet no fun at all lol.

hi minnie! do you have that kind of car a convertible one? yeah i think it's great to have that. you can travel while opening the top then enjoy th wind blowing down your hair. when it rains, you can just close it. im sure you still get a lot of fun, when you let your old car be done . happy posting!

I don't mind the weather when I travel,it's the company I want! Rain can cut down your view..I was on the M1 out of Belfast Yesterday,and the rain came on..it was like somebody had just landed a cloud in front of Me-Everything went wet and grey! Though I do like passing through cloud when travelling on a plane-then you get to come out on top and it's all sunshine!,of course,when Landing,You're going back down below them again...And if it wasn't for rain,of course,We wouldn't have Rainbows...

it happens mostly if it's raining hard. i understand how people become scared to travel if they know that it's raining, it might signify that there would be a bad weather ahead. sad to say, i never experienced yet passing through a cloud by an airplane while raining, then after passing through you can see the sun. i had not ride a plane while raining. lol. and yeah, thanks to the rain and the sun, we do have rainbows!

I always have a great time traveling. When it is raining my favorite thing is to sit in the garage with the door open and watch the rain just pour down on the cars and off the roof. The sweat clean smell of the rain is just something I enjoy and love to experince. While traveling though, give me sunshine, clear airports and the warmth of a relaxing place to visit. I nice walk in the woods with a soft rain is just a wonderful combination of the two!

me too! i dont know what's with the rain, but it really relaxes me to see raindrops pouring down. i love the feeling that it rains and the weather is so cold, that you ended up wanting to sleep and enjoy the whole travel time. thanks for the reply and enjoy posting!

that's what i love when it rains, im tempted to sleep during the travel, which i dont want to do. im a very visual person, and when i travel i always look out in the window to see the view. since i was young, i dont sleep much in a travel becuase i prefer watching the whole scenery than sleeping. and the exciting part of it is that i love riding in a air conditioned bus, then when it rains, i feel so cold, and i love it!

well, i think it depends on your mood. if you have a good mood on the trip with your best friend or your lover, you will definately have a good time during the journey. i like traveling,too, sometimes with sunshine, sometimes with rain. but different weather let me see different scene, which are both beautiful.

yeah you are right! i usually have a good time while traveling. i love traveling so much! when i travel, im with my family or my friends. they make my travel more enjoyable and more memorable. it's fine with me to travel even if the sun is high, but i like it better when it rains a little.
