Put some love on the engine and ride solo with nothing but your thoughts, audio books, and coyoets howling in the moon light on some desert road. Fuck people and I do mean at this state of the world stay away from people. at this stage im leaning more towards saying fuckt and taking this bus... it wont be for another month or so but rest assured, we will have a new thread in real time when that day comes. $141 one way Sacramento to Boston on either United, Alaska, Delta or American longest flight: 8:27 $234 on Greyhound. Gets there 73 hours why are you even still having this discussion? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 48559914 United Kingdom 03/09/2021 11:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People ride Greyhound because they think they will sleep. The only way to do that is ride with a friend and take turns sleeping. There are always soldiers on bus trips, so it's not like security is an issue. Nobody raised a ruckus, there just were talkers the WHOLE way. Kooky, anxious, worriers, lonely people, elderly, sad people, noisy joke and storytellers, crying babies, obviously sick people coughing, people who look like they are tripping, etc. Amtrak is expensive and it's difficult to go all across the country for most unless going hub to hub. |

Quoting: Plato II im pissed i wont be abe to smoke weed for 4 days so i plan to pack a bunch of THC gummies in my carry on, and probably some valerian capsules to help with sleep. ive taken a greyhound across a ew states before but it was nothing compared to what this trip will be. we're talking 4 days, possibly 5 if the layovers/ transfers take longer(which they will). if anyone has done this; gone across country in a bus.... what should i expect? any advice is highly appreciated! im kinda worried about it but i have a lot of good things waiting back in boston that i need to get to. i'll drive you i take that drive all the time well from eureka ca to NJ |

And just like jail, when you sleep you dream of the out side world. But when you wake up your still there. Youre signing your self up for a week with 2 days off for good time. Another similarity with jail. You will meet some of the dumbest people you have ever met. |

The actually bus stations when I got off in Atlanta felt like the world War z movie and I was 12 at the time, never met this dude before but he was open carrying a pistol. I stayed right next to him the entire time. Other than that the busses have wifi and it was nice.

But you will come out the other end with a new out look on life and goals so you dont end up like the people you met. In jail i was in a 12 man cell. There was a man we refered to as garbage can mouth. How many people you met that have never brushed thier teeth a single day in thier life. You may meet someone like that. And that kind of stank can cover some yardage. Last Edited by OldCar on 03/09/2021 11:48 PM |
