Get a few boats together, form a fleet, sail out into the sea with a load of seeds and a distillery and shit. Divide all the necessary equipment between the boats (ie, a farm boat, a living boat, an electrical appliances boat) and live out in the sea.

build a underground city (with the help of proffessionals). gather as many survivors as i can (and livestock). live off of aquifers, seal the doors shut for two decades, and eat pocky at the executive desk (plan is still in progress)
if a person under the name "Muriel" calls. tell them i'm not apologizing

Make sure to keep your radios on for when the coast guard asks what you guys are doing.

Stick it out. I live in an easily defensible city that just so happens to be the state capitol. Take the university buildings into account and there's plenty of room (I imagine we could provide a safe zone for tens or even a few hundred thousand) and tons of parks to grow food in.

I'll tell you what I wouldn't do.

I wouldn't:
Go too the mall.
Go to the Winchester order a pint and wait for the whole thing to blow over.
Visit a dairy farm.
Or take a train to Savannah Georgia and look for a boat.

Any place where a zombie outbreak could, theoretically, take place (presumably parts of sub-Saharan Africa, and maybe the favelas of Brazil) wouldn't be able to reach me, anyway. Even if they did end up overrunning the continent, which seems highly unlikely, they'd be stopped at either the Sinai peninsula or for SA, around Panama.

In the fictional possibility, I'd raid a big five, then flee to Angel Island, living off acquired food and local wildlife, I could even look over to San Fran and see the fires.

They'd be British zombies, so I could just put a 'no uninvited callers' sign on my door.

Pretty much this.

I do not plan for situations that will never happen, especially situations that are scientifically impossible.

Like with any other societal collapse, my plan is to get killed as early as possible. My skill set includes understanding Foucault, wine pairings and snark; I'd be pretty useless in any post-apocalyptic scenario.

I would face it alone, and die alone - preferably overlooking a beautiful African sunrise.
