quote: ORIGINAL: lilsubl riding to Los Angeles on a Greyhound bus? my new job wants me in LA for orientation next Tuesday...they will only pay for my transportation if i take a Greyhound (what can i say, it's trucking). i took a Greyhound to Missoula, MT once & it was perfectly awful: they stopped every hour or so all nite long, sometimes making us get out of the bus...so no sleep...but there are some scheduled buses that don't stop that often... my difficulty right now is money...if i drive or fly, it will cost me around $500 & i just don't have it...so has anybody else taken Greyhound that far & survived? if so, how did you do it? I took a greyhound from Michigan to NY several times.... It was awful and cramped but I had music and books and blocked everything else out. Just don't use the bathrooms on the bus. Per chance have you checked out amtrak they are usually more comfy (take a blanket because they are usually freezing and a good pillow) and most of the time just as cheap. See if you can get a comparable price and see if the trucking company will pay for it that way.

If you have an ipod and have itunes there are plenty of books on tape there.

i did check out Amtrak & Daddy said i should really do that & get some relaxation on the way, so that's what i decided to do...i love the train & have taken them whenever i can...this will be my longest trip on one, however: 30 hours...i do have the iPod, but i don't want to pay for more books to listen to, so i'll just transfer the ones i have on cd to the iPod & get a headset...thanks for the tip about the blanket...with this arthritis kickin mah butt right now, i would have been miserable..... & the company won't give me the money they would have paid to Greyhound, alas....

Remember to bring enough batteries. If you ask, they may reemburse you the ammount that the bus ticket would have cost. Good luck and stay safe.

i did ask that question very first thing in the conversation, Thadius...unfortunately, they aren't getting up off that money unless i actually suffer thru the trip on the Greyhound...when you think about it, it makes perfect sense: how many people will actually take the Greyhound? saves the company hundreds of thousands, undoubtedly....& thanks for the well wishes.....
