watchout alot of weirdos on the bus, if you take a bag, put your foot on it, if you have to sleep. also when your waiting for the next bus its fawking boring, bring alot of reading material. if someone stairs at you, look at them back and stair them down, dont take no shit from anyone.

thats too bad... I had to make the trip from Naples over to MIA airport last week and then up to Orlando. We had plenty of room too. Good luck with Greyhound, I took it once and won't ever do it again. Pay the $250 for air, it's worth the extra change for the convienience alone in time saved.

Its definitely an expirience.

dude, I took it once with my mom and let me say...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
This black dude(yes hes was black) got up and started walking toward us and threatened us while saying "I know who you are. You're the FBI and you're not gonna catch me! I'll kill you before you get me!"

The guy was arrested @ the next stop.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Don't talk too strangers...and the bald ones in the white robes dancing at the bus station playing the tamborines mean no harm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Greyhound is not a bad way to travel. I took it a bunch of times....long as you aren't going super far away it's fine. iPod video = key to non-boredom.

I took a greyhound once. The transmission has just gone out in my last car and I was out of state. I had to be back at work that monday so I bought a ticket. IIRC if was ~$50.

I get on and get a seat. (I thought it would have been assigned seating, but I was wrong.)

1st mistake...I took a seat at the back of the bus. I had a middle aged guy on my left the window on the right.

After 50 or so miles the guy next to me kept talking, coughing, sneezing, and just being wierd. I tried to sleep and ignore him, but dang...

I changed seats after that and sat up front with an elderly lady. She was nice. Also very quiet. She kept offering me crackers and cookies and all kind of goodies she had, but I had to refuse...no telling what was in there.

Finally on my last leg I sat next to a younger woman, maybe in her early 30's. She seemed nice, but I think that the tuna smell that was present wasnt "tuna fish" if you know what I mean...

First and last time...never again, I will spring for a plane ticket. Although, I have had a few interresting flights too...terroristic threatening, sone guy tried stealing my wallet, and some old drunk guy puking all over the plane...

I HATE TRAVELING IN ANYTHING BUT MY TRUCK.

I'd love traveling in my truck a lot more if it was a 5.3L =p

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

It leaves at 4:30 PM and arrives at 9:10 PM. There are a few stops...only one has a wait time, 30 minutes...not bad.

I'm in PA, I flew.... its not as fun as it used to be. Taking your shoes off is mandatory now, and no liquids/sprays/gels.. my brother had the option of going and waiting on line for another 30 minutes (we were already running late) or having the guy through out all of his cologne....

It sucked.

Oh, and there was a big sign:

TERROR ALERT: ORANGE

There is a high risk of a terror attack.

Very reassuring //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
