Re: Suggestions for 18 hour bus trip
On our 7 hour bus trip we didn't have any movies but we did have a battery with inverter and a wireless/wired router and had a chat going. It was great fun. Just make sure you have a big inverter or lots of batteries and/or a really big battery and when you stop to eat, take it/them in with you to charge.

We had parents and mentors scattered throughout the bus and did no separation of any kind and everything was perfectly fine. Didn't have any movies but I'd allow up to PG-13 as long as the parents were okay with it. There are exceptions but these days I think high school kids have already seen and know about everything in R rated movies and their language is already at that level.
