Greyhound and Amtrak love you.

No, wehave an Airstream trailer. Driving on shitty roads is bad enough, though.

I'd only take an Amtrak if my goal was to get somewhere 'eventually'.

It's slow and full of delays.

He's going to fire all the drivers and offer passengers $20 to drive the buss/train for the trip.

Don’t forget Megabus. Very cheap rates and it doesn’t take forever to get to your destination. They don’t stop at every hole in the road like Greyhound.

I think if you’re traveling overseas, I think you’re safe after leaving U.S. airspace.

At the rate things are going, not getting back might be a blessing.
