Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

Closed Threads

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Bus travel is ardous at best in my experience. I'd rather spend the time with my sister in a rental car.

Though I always met the most interesting people on my trips from Roanoke, Va. to Newark, N.J. and back. Lots of parolees, the odd professional racist...

Ann, that's a ferret.

How long is the drive? 8 or 9 hours, depending on traffic around Chicago?

Whichever way you go, I assume having a small child with you means you'll need regular rest stops. Which seems an argument against the bus. You know better than I whether your family can handle that part of it. And you can always get a breather from the family at a rest stop.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It seems like you'd be able to rent a car for less than $300

I've priced it out and we can, but fuel prices are pretty high out here and July tends to be the high point for gas prices.

MegaBus is $202.50. It's dumb of me to waver.

Punishingly Intricate

I might be holding back on the bus because I am feeling/being snobbish.

It's totally the thing to do when getting between metropoliseses on the East coast.

Not really! The getting up too early thing is a huge check in the CON column for the bus option.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Bus travel was ok when I did it in college I have no idea if it has changed.

I would not enjoy that with a toddler or my too-much-time-together-in-a-few-days sister nevermind both.

Driving is about 11 hours, without stops. There is a bathroom on the MegaBus and we'll have DVD's and games to distract Emeline and Joe with.

The DVDs and games: thumbs up!

The bus bathroom? Aims, I don't think you are going to like the bus bathroom.
