Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

Our team has a 14 hour bus ride, and we're leaving Pontiac at about 4:50 in the morning tomorrow... I like that, since it makes half the bus ride to Atlanta sleepy-time for me. What could I do for the other 7 hours? I wish I knew.

We arrive in Atlanta at about 7:00 PM Wednesday Night.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

Two hour and half to three hour bus ride from Windsor Locks to New York City depending on traffic. Two to two half hour wait at airport. Then two and half hour plane flight to Atlanta can't wait.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

Then there are those of us who see the bus ride as 14 hours of no:
rushing,
dealing with imaginary crisis,
one making their problems my problems,
dealing with real crisis (knock wood),
security checkpoints,

and it's 14 hours spent with some of my closest friends at their upbeat and optimistic best.

Now tell me again: why would I want to fly to Atlanta?

Boarding the bus in nine hours,

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

because our bus is leaving so early... most of our team is just staying up all night, and then we can sleep on the bus for most of the 15 hours.

Talking Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

The bus to take us to the airport is leaving in one hour. Therefore, We're twidling thumbs for now. 2 hours to the airport, 2 hour wait, 2 hour flight, one hour to the hotel. Ten hours to ATL.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

Our 15 passenger van is pulling out of station at 6 p.m. tonight with a 13 hour road trip ahead of us. We are scheduled to arrive in Atlanta between 5-7 tomorrow morning. Just in time to walk in the doors.
