I think I may die
What with the lack of sleep, the hellish conditions with Greyhound, and the stress of being several thousand miles from home, I'm amazed I haven't died yet.

I just got back from a con in Washington DC. What's crazy is that I want to go back there. Just not necessarily for a con and *definitely* not by Greyhound bus.

Details will follow, but first I need to recover both physically and mentally. (And I didn't even take any drugs or alcohol besides a sip of sake. How do people *survive* that sort of thing??)

Buses are rubbish in general, and I'm sure that there designed just to make people tired.

Hope that the con was good on the whole. I liked Washington, SO much to see! :)

Irish buses were okay. At least the people were friendly. I can handle a delay of any hour or two if the people are nice. Greyhound was off by 16 hours and I was treated like dirt. >.< grrrr

It sounds like you have an interesting time, I just hope you recover some time soon.

Very interesting. I should get the pictures back Monday, so I'll hopefully be able to give a good account then.

DC's a good place. But maybe I'm prejudiced. I"ve been living here for over ten years.

Not a fan of busses, though my wife swears by the China Town bus to get to NYC, and my son has used it to get there to and from Boston.

I hear ya. I liked the buses in Ireland. They were chronically late but at least the drivers were nice. (Ah, the Irish and their ever-present charm.) Greyhound is just... ick.
