Today’s Bloganuary prompt: What is your preferred mode of travel?

Bloganuary 13, 2023: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it?

Today’s Bloganuary prompt: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it? When I try to comprehend how much a billion truly is, my mind breaks.
