Re: Suggestions for 18 hour bus trip

MOE used a bus last year for Atlanta (fortunately this year we got cheap air tickets!). We left at 9:00 at night with a midnight to 7AM quiet time. You didn't have to sleep but you had to be quiet. (I personally got maybe 3 hours of sleep. At the most.) We showed movies - PG13, Pirates of the Caribbean was the big hit - and did some seat checks. Similar rules in the hotel.

Bathroom and meal breaks weren't a problem because the bus driver had his rules and had to stop every so often. Ask the bus company - they are the experts on that.

You may think the restrictions are excessive but the mentors do have to answer to parents and schools. If something happens and a parent sues, what happens to the program then?
