going across the country by bus

I went from MD to Vermont to a meditation retreat by Greyhound and it was sooooo much fun. I've heard so many complaints about bus travel but encountered none. There was hardly anyone on my bus, the seats were extremely comfortable. I loved going to sleep and waking up in another state each time. I brought snacks - and plenty of water. And of course a good book. I would recommend putting all important papers and money - credit cards - in a flat purse that you can wear around your neck - under your shirt. If you are going to carry a lot of cash - not recommended - but if you do - then be sure not to store the bulk in the same place - be sure the place you pull out cash at rest stops has little money. I would recommend just bringing your bank card or getting a credit card - like from Western Union or Green Dot from a grocery store where you can put the amount of cash you think you'll need on it. I think you'll have fun - be careful though!

I've never traveled by bus, but it sounds like an interesting way to travel. My stepdad jokes sometimes that he ought to buy a bus just so our entire family can take a vacation.

oh wow, what a marvelous experience that will be for you, I have only ever travelled over Europe by bus from my home in the North of England to Naples in the south of Italy, it was a great trip. Im sure you will love it, but it is a huge trip best of luck blessed be
