THE Way to Fly
Just took a moment to have a look at this slideshow, and would love to experience travel on this.
I remember the first (only!) time I saw a real airship - it was in Germany and I was about 6 years old at the time. It's a memory that's stayed, it was just such an awesome sight.

We might be back to airships before too long. It's going to be pretty hard to get a 747 off the ground without oil.

In the 30's, luxury airships were traveling from Germany to Brazil and other distant locations. Would be a good way to travel, if you were not in a big hurry.
