6. If that's round-trip fare, I might be able to do it.
I'm now a victim of the Bush economy.

8. Its round trip
From WI it was $98 but went up to $106 because of gas prices. You sleep on the bus coming and going, bring some food, meet some new people... it should be a good time.

10. You should check out air fare....
Edited on Fri Sep-09-05 07:55 PM by KerryOn
My wife and I don't have a reliable car so we thought about renting a car. We also looked at buses, and going by air.

Flying was the cheapest way to go. We were shocked. We booked on to United on Aug 27th. I checked the price last weekend and the price had doubled! WE got our tickets just in time. I'm sure bus fare went up as well.

5. Thanks. There are some local rallies too
for those that can't cross the country.

I'm not looking forward to the 38 hours on a bus part!

7. Buses suck.
I used to make that trip while in the Navy, and it was 24 hours on I-70 with brief pit stops.
