She's The New Year's Eve Birthday Girl!

A Summer Flashback

Ah memories. Memories of taking the bus all over. Some of the seats suspiciously didn't recline. The smell coming from the bathroom. There were some positives of course, the people on the bus were very kind. One man gave me a drink, another very fashionable girl gave me her magazine to read and a myriad of people were willing to make some nice chit chat and also leave me in peace when it came time to take a nap or find something to read. Another plus was texting TWN. My hardwon tips for taking the bus over a long distance are: 1. bring a cold drink or two (one to give away to someone), it can get unbearably hot on the bus and a cold drink is very refreshing. 2. Sit in front of the toilet. For some reason the seats there never failed to recline (which makes sleeping so much easier) The smell isn't too bad and it is the same as being in the middle anyway. 3. Make sure your carry on bag is smaller, you can bring several small carry on bags, but the large ones don't fit overhead and you will have the bag uncomfortably on your lap. 4. When in the uk sit on the left side of the bus, so you can see the signs to know where you are. 5. Never, ever, ever shut the emergency exits if the bus driver has opened them for ventilation. Not even if it is raining. Cutting off access to cool, fresh air - why would anyone ever do such a thing?
