Our business success came with a reward, and for us, travelling was that reward. To arrive at our destinations, I would enjoy the airplane ride, and Frans would enjoy sailing on a ship because of his fear of flying. When Frans and I first traveled together in the Netherlands, and later in Europe, we always took the ship to get across the Atlantic Ocean, and then we drove to our destinations. When I traveled without Frans, with my children and later with friends, I always took the plane. Then I would rent a car and/or take a train to travel to destinations.
