So. The bus trip. Where to start? The beginning I suppose. I know it makes me sound like a nob to complain about having to get up before 8 a.m. But I am not a morning person. Hence, OMG EARLY. But I managed, and the momcar picked me up at the appointed hour of 7:55. Then over the mountain to rendezvous with a big red bus. One that I was delighted to discover came with a wifi connection. Mom was perhaps less so, as she had to tell her friends about how I come for dinner and spend my time with my nose in my gadget. Yeah, well, I come for dinner and she spends her time with her nose in the TV so really, how is that any different? Anyway.

This being a bus full of retired teachers, we took roll twice, the second time through the time tested, "John Brown?" "Here!" method. Then there was a bloodless coup when the tour leader wanted to put in a video for the trip down and only like one person voted for watching a movie, so yay hooray, peace and quiet. Granted "Sweet Home Alabama" and "The Devil Wears Prada" would have been innocuous choices, but tour leader lady (ok her name was Phyllis) kept talking up some Kevin Costner "drama" which didn't win her any favors I think.

It was a dark and rainy morning. ( the rest is behind here... )
