We threw back some drinks and watched the only Tigers win (Boo! I can't believe they lost the WS). I had a great time and eventually made my way back to Running Jayhawk's place. We chatted a bit before heading to bed. I had to be up early to catch the Megabus back to Cleveland. $15 for my ticket. Not too shabby!
Well I guess you get what you pay for.
After a minor freakout about where the hell the bus was I found DL waiting for the bus too. The crowd was small so we got a table area on the bus to ourselves. We talked shop for awhile waiting for our trip to Cleveland to start. And waited...and waited...got angry....and waited....
We had a special bus because the normal Mega Busses do not have wheelchair accessibility. Well apparently even though this one had it, the people in charge did not have much experience using it. It took them about 40 minutes to get the poor lady onto the bus. During which time I decided I was starving and had to get a sandwich. We timed it just right and got back onto the bus just as they were finally gettind her on board. Well then the bus wouldn't start. After about 7 attempts to start the bus, each attempt taking about 2 minutes. The bus driver got off and opened and shut the wheelchair door. Except for now the door wouldn't shut and it set off an alarm.
I swear to you that that door got slammed about 30 times before they finally decided to try something different (despite passengers suggesting to them to try something new several times) Finally they realized that the door was locked and wouldn't shut until unlocked by turning the bus off. And thankfully after all of that the bus decided to start.

Ugh. I've only traveled Greyhound a couple times. My biggest complaint is that I can't stand how those busses smell. Ick.
