I have two excellent days of skiing at Whistler/Blackcomb and should have paid the $50 for a 50% off third day; the resort is so huge there just wasn’t time to explore all of it. To get to and from the ski area (the HI doesn’t have Ski In/Ski Out access or a free shuttle) […]

The reason for coming out to the Pacific Northwest is to use up my two already paid for days of skiing on my Mountain Collective Pass at Whistler/Backcomb. The largest ski area in North America! I considered booking a through Amtrak Throughway ticket to Whistler the fares seem to very a bit. I didn’t end […]
I need to from Tucson to Phoenix and unforchunately the cheapest way to do this is a 2 hour bus ride on Greyhound. The schedule I want also stops in Mesa and I ask and find out from my friend in Tempe that Mesa is much closer and I buy a ticket there (it will […]
Yet again Greyhound is a Nightmare! I have a nice relaxing morning hanging out at the house of some friends, the perfect, post lack of sleep overnight train activity. At about 1:30 I get dropped off at the Greyhound station for the 2:00pm bus I booked yesterday getting the cheapest $13 fare by paying at 7/11. […]
As I was waking up I saw the Texas Eagle on its diversion leaving town crossing a more southern bridge across the Mississippi out my 20th floor hotel room window. I wish I had been able to figure out a way to ride it diverted without spending a bunch on a sleeper since #322, the […]
I’m back in New York! I had thought about taking the train back cross-county but when I realized Amtrak would be double the price of flying I just couldn’t justify it so only about two weeks ago I decided to buy a plane ticket on JetBlue. The final day of my Tennessee to Texas trip […]
Hello from Colorado Springs where my trip of actual traveling has fully come to a close (I’m here for two weddings). Wednesday began with me sleeping in a bit until 9:00 and relaxing in my room, having a disgusting breakfast of donuts from the day before. At 10:00 I go downstairs to check out and […]
Greetings from Memphis and the cheapest (only $15 a night) but really quite nice on the top floor of a church hostel I have ever stayed in. There is nothing religious about it, I was really skeptical of the place when I reserved my bed. Yesterday, I had a fairly quiet full day in Nashville. […]
Howdy from Nashville! Well if the MegaBus Stop in Chattanooga is inconvenient, the Greyhound Stanton is in the middle of nowhere. It is out by the airport. There is a bus route that serves it directly but only six times a day on a round about route that seemed unnecessary. I could have taken MegaBus […]
Today, me and my one railfan friend decided it was time to go down to Philly and together visit every station on the Broad Street Line. I am not at all a fan of buses but New York to Philly is one of the few rides I can tolerate since the bus is so much […]
