- Many of the buses are double deckers - and while it may sound adventuresome to ride in the very front seat of the top deck, if you are not Harry Potter (all magical and such), it's a bit crazy. It is very disorienting to look out and not be able to see a driver. But we are proud that we started our adventure with a bold move
- the back of the bus SMELLS. Darn toilet. Whatever chemical they put in there is BAD. I was praying that someone would "stink it up" so I could breathe again. It was that bad.
- Hillbillies live in other places besides the Ozarks and Arkansas. There were some strange people at the rest stop in McClain, IL. Igor came to mind with one character. I guess I should be more forgiving - it was 4:30 am, but it was stranger than strange. So to all the folks I have insulted over the years in the Ozarks and Arkansas - I apologize!
- Not all convenience stores sell magazines. I KNOW - crazy. But it's true. The Love's/Hardee's in Boonville, MO has all of the Louis L'Amour books ever written, enough engine parts to build a small airplane, but no People, National Inquire, or even Playboy. What is wrong with that...
We are already planning our next trip via the mega bus. Will post about the adventure in Chicago later!

Paul and I love the front top of double deckers...and the feeling you are about to run into every car you see and the complete amazement when someone walks by in front and looks like they are coming from underneath the bus. =)
Then it makes it even stranger when the bus really does hit a car.
