I'm off again ... this time by bus

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Well, I've been down south for almost a week now ... and I am just beginning to feel "normal" - the malls don't amaze me anymore, the produce section at the grocery store is normal, and I actually can sleep in the dark - I know, strange but true, I got quite used to sleeping in the light.

Tonight I am heading back to good ol Freddy Beach by bus - 14 hours on a bus ... should be pretty interesting, especially since I have two transfers to make to make it all the way home. With any luck I won't get on the wrong bus, and my luggage won't get onto the wrong bus either .... although, I can't remember if I have to claim my luggage at each stop or if they automatically move it for me ... hmmm... guess we will find out when I get to the bus station eh?

I don't know if you'll get this in time - but as an experience buser to Fredericton - you'll need to grab your luggage (and drag it at least half the length of the Montreal Bus Station (and that is a long way). In Riviere de Loup - sometimes you don't change busses and sometimes you do (they usually have 2 or more leave Montreal and condense the remaining passengers in Riviere de Loup in the middle of the night) - in any case you'll need to move your own luggage and make sure it gets put on the right bus, but you won't have to move it too far.

Yeah, I asked that question once I got to the station in Ottawa - it's been quite some time since I've taken a bus - prefer flying, but wasn't going to pay the insane price they (Air Canada) wanted for a ticket.

Wasn't too bad ... until I got to Montreal and had no clue where my bus line was - and not like they were really helpful there either. But I made it back to Freddy! And that is all that really matters.
