Era Might Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 First time I took the Greyhound, I had to stop over in New York. I had a few bags, so they were hard to carry. Some shabby looking guy comes up and takes my bag. I'm thinking he's about to rob me, he's saying he wants to help me carry them out of the goodness of his heart. He was going really fast ahead of me, I thought he was gonna run off. Then we get to my terminal, and of course, he expects to be payed for his services. Not that I wanted any bellhop service, but I gave him 5 bucks so he didn't shank me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franciscanheart Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 [quote name='azaelia' post='1024442' date='Jul 14 2006, 12:26 PM'] Well I have to fly out of Boston-Logan Airport which is two hours away. It's an incredibly awesome airline with wicked nice planes and XM Radio built into the seats. It's da bomb. [/quote] i'd rather have the $49 airfare. after all, it already takes me about an hour to get to the airport (or from the airport, especially if i have to ride in a rent a car that has a parking garage that lets out in the middle of nowhere) [quote name='the_rev' post='1024444' date='Jul 14 2006, 12:26 PM'] I found it, htey don't go to Birmingham, or anywhere close. [/quote] They don't go a lot of places but if people start using them to go to the places they DO go they might get bigger and go to birmingham.

Era Might Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yah, Greyhound is just all around bad. Amtrak isn't much better, but at least you can get up and walk around. I don't think hot stuff would like either though. The bathrooms are disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You think he's the only one with bathroom standards? One time HSdad and I opted for Amtrack over flying (we were traveling every month-- usually flying). We thought it would be fun for our then 18 month old daughter to play on the train and walk around. What it ended up being was 8 hours of us chasing her up and down the length of the train once she figured out how to open the passage ways between cars. I think we were both mentally ill. We went back to flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The only time I've ridden a bus was when I was a youth minister. One trip we had 8 kids puking and the driver refused to pull over. I was on cleanup detail Coincidentally, it was also my birthday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 When I was a kid the fam took a road trip to TN. My middle brother got pukey on the curvy roads and threw up more than once in the front seat of the car. THAT made for a fun trip home ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The first flight I ever took was from here to Michigan with my mom and brother. We could have gotten a flight with a stopover in Chicago, but my mom was too, oh let's say, aprehensive to be at O'Hare with two little kids. So we took a flight that would mean we didn't have to change planes. But we landed in Eau Claire, Steven's Point, Wausau, Green Bay, and finally in Kalmazoo... My mom and I sat in one row and my brother was in a seat behind us. At one point, someone said to my mom, "You're son's looking a little pale back here." He had to lie down the rest of the trip. He's never been a good flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have loved flying since the first time I tried it. I especially love small planes. One of my favorite trips was a couple of years ago. I helped some friends move to NJ and drove one of their cars most of the way. Then I took the train to NY, then to Boston (the train system on the East Coast is much better than here ... ). From Boston, I met up with a friend and we went up to New Hampshire for a bit, then back to Boston. I flew out a couple of days later to Chicago, hung out there for a few hours then met up with a friend of mine who has a pilot's license who had been in Chicago for the day. We flew home in his plane and I got to fly it for a little bit. It's been a dream of mine ever since to get a pilot's license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
