Heading down to Mpls to meet up with my son and go to the Cake concert tonight.
With gas prices being what they are, and him coming home on Sunday, I've decided to take the Greyhound bus down vs. driving a big car alone, then return with him.
The fare, pre-paid online, was only $19.80 one way. If I had wanted round trip, it would have been $34 and change. Damn cheaper than a tank of gas for sure, and I can nap or play online, as the bus is also WiFi enabled - cost included. How can you beat that?
In my travels I have found that sometimes there is free WiFi to be had, but more often than not, there is a fee - and usually nearly what one would pay for a month's service. Even many places claiming to have WiFi - charge you some ridiculous fee.
Anyway, I am glad to have this available so I can catch up on some of my posts, as well as emails, or just to read as well.
The bus wasn't very full either, so I had a fair bit of privacy around me, which was nice too.
I also learned later that this was one of Greyhound's last trips before Jefferson Lines takes over.
