Busing It

This past weekend the BF and I traveled to St. Michaels MD for a wedding.  The wedding was fabulous and we had a lot of fun!  Sadly I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures to include, but hopefully someone else who took some will be willing to share theirs!

Since we are both car-less in the city, we had a few options on getting to the ceremony (plane, train, bus, rental car, etc).  We opted for Megabus, which I had taken once previously to DC and BF had taken once to Philly.  The closest we could get was to Baltimore, so we carpooled from there, but overall it was a much cheaper and less stressful trip than our other options would have been.  Megabus has free Wi-fi and outlets, so it's pretty convenient.  You can just bring your laptop and watch a movie or get some work done while someone else does all the driving!  The best part about Megabus is that you can score tickets for just a buck!  We booked about a month in advance so our entire trip for 2 tickets there and 2 tickets back was only $4.50!  Considering tolls alone are about $30 bucks each way, I think we scored an awesome deal!  The first seats on Megabus sell for $1, then they go up to $3, then $9, and I think the highest I have seen was $25, which is still muccccch cheaper than our other choices!

I have also heard good things about the Boltbus, which is supposed to be a little roomier than Megabus, but otherwise the same.  I never seem to find good deals for trips I want though.  I've seen $1 tickets with Boltbus, but they always seem to be at odd times like leaving at 2AM and arriving at 6AM (yuck!). All in all, I definitely recommend checking out the bus systems for your next travels if you are looking to save money and stress!  These two in particular go to a lot of places in the northeast, even Canada!  For only a buck it's hard to NOT find a reason to take a little trip!
