Bus from New York to Wheeling

[drmego]

I won't be there - but I doubt that I will REALLY miss it.

Besides, aren't we going there for the Saturday night dinner
or is it Wendys?

Berto and Tom have offered me a seat in their car - and since they are not
leaving until Friday

See you Friday night for pizza.

But you'll miss Hoss's.

Berto and Tom have offered me a seat in their car - and since they are not
leaving until Friday - it works out better for my family.

So if anyone is looking for me on the 7am Thursday Megabus to Pittsburgh,
I will not be there. I will be putting my son on the bus to pre-school.

See you Friday night for pizza.

I wouldn't trust a double-decker at full speeds

Seems like it would flip very easily

I guess the bus idea is not really going to work since no one else is
willing to commit. It would be easier for me to go by air, so if the
megabus idea is dead, I will fly instead.

Chicago?

Can it pick me up in Chicago???

So is anyone going to book the bus with me?

I'm still working out transport plans, also flying out of Ft Lauderdale - but I admit mego roadtrip does sound like an entertaining option.

Now someone has to bring some blue paint. That would be awesome.

Hey, guys:

Pittsburgh has awesome local bus service from DT Greyhound/Amtrak stations to the airport. Takes less than an hour, and it's only about 2 bucks.

Getting a car in the DT area is not too easy and costs a bit more than the airport, which has super-cheap deals.

I can usually rent a full size car from the Pittsburgh airport from Thursday to Sunday for about $100 - $120 through Hotwire. Not sure how you get from the Bus to the airport, but I am guessing you could get a rental in town for somewhat similar prices. I would definitely want to go that route, especially if I could extend the weekend hanging with some Mego peeps a while longer while someone else did the bulk of the driving.

All Megabuses are double-decker? Upper and lower levels? Wha...? How do they fit the luggage underneath?

The bus driver checks me in and places my bag underneath the bus. I head up to the bus's second story (all megabuses are double-deckers) and easily find a row to myself.

(The driver does emphasize that we should use the handrail at all times when going up and down the stairs between levels.)

I'd go along, but it costs the same to fly to NYC from OKC as is does to Pittsburgh. Plus, I got my wife w/me this year.

I did book the bus round trip for $6.50 - the return trip was $1.00
and it leaves a few blocks from Penn Station.
