Re: Suggestions for 18 hour bus trip

I've been on numerous long bus rides. (Thanks to Marching Band)

1. PG movies: a bit strict but understandable
Alternative: Highlight reels of other matches going to Atlanta and maybe going home a season of a TV show. I know someone suggested a season of the Simpsons for us.
2. Cards is an all around game. (Personal longest card game was 16 Hours straight.) Travel board games work well. Monopoly can get old after eight hours.
3. One side guys and one side girls with a chaperone every few seats and station one on that popular back seat. Seat checks are a must. A trick is to have a mentor awake and up front near the bus driver (If it's allowed under bus company rules) Have them roam every now and then.
4. If feasible, put the primary drive team on stricter schedule. Take care of them.
