Bus Traveling Bring Things Expensive Make Feel Country

In the United States, traveling by bus is usually less expensive than traveling by train, plane, or car. Unfortunately, it is also slower and less "luxurious" (comfortable, with expensive things that make one feel good) than other "modes" (ways) of transportation. If you are going to take a short bus trip, this probably doesn't matter. However, if you are considering traveling by bus across the country, it's important to "keep some things in mind" (to think about or be aware of some things).

First, because buses are not luxurious, they aren't very comfortable. Sometimes the seats are too hard. You can make your trip more comfortable if you wear "sweats" (sweatsuit; very comfortable, informal clothing) and bring a pillow and soft blankets. It's also a good idea to bring food and drinks for the long trip.

Because bus rides are long and slow, you will want to bring things to "entertain" yourself (to keep one interested in something). If you don't have "motion sickness" (feelings on nausea while being in a moving vehicle), bring something to read. Other good activities on a bus include listening to music and doing "crossword puzzles" (games on paper when one puts words in a grid based on clues).

Finally, if you are taking a bus across the country, consider reserving one or more hotel rooms where you can rest and "refresh" (do something to feel cleaner, rested, and more relaxed) during the trip. Traveling on a bus 24 hours a day isn't very much fun, and most people want to stop somewhere en route.
