Describe a journey — a train ride, a long drive, a flight — that you enjoyed more than the destination itself.

A natural way to answer

I once took a long coastal drive with friends, and the journey turned out to be the highlight. We had no real schedule, so we could pull over whenever we liked. The destination was fine, but the road itself was where the magic happened.
