| 24. I've taken the bus for short, 2-3 hour hops that I used to drive |
|
and wow, what a difference! I get to where I'm going refreshed, having been able to read, sleep, listen to my iPod, knit, stare out the window, instead of dealing with traffic, keeping an eye on the speedometer & gas gauge....
this trip back from Seattle, though is almost 3 days. A real endurance test & perhaps God will have the last laugh. Dunno, but the route goes through places I've wanted to see, I have the time, so why the heck not?
