Lady is still on our bus cause she's heading to Salem.

WE MADE IT TO PORTLAND OH YEAH.

now to Eugene and finally Florence \0/

This poor woman just got the shit scared outta her lol the wheelchair door was loose and she didn't know it and the driver just opened it up to close it good and she just screamed out "holy fuck" XD ahahahaha

Anyway we have iced coffee and the bus is about to pull out of the station (that's what he said whoops) and then toooooo: EUGENE!

There's this lady passenger on the bus with us who's soooooo fucking rude I wanna punch her. We were stopped for restroom and walk around break for 40 minutes and she was complaining that the bus driver had the bus too hot. Now, the bus was indeed a little too warm HOWEVER this lady was being an ass to the bus driver. Convo essentially went like this:

Lady: Turn down the heat, its freaking hot

Driver: You don't have to be rude

Lady: Neither do you.

And then the lady was mumbling about calling the driver's bosses on her.

I'll be glad when she gets off the bus tbh. -_-

EDIT: Okay so i was wrong, we reach Boise tonight, not Portland and I just realized this LMAO

[ephandkaftrip]

We're on our way to Portland, Oregon! I think the bus driver said we'd be there by 5pm tonight and then it's just a matter of riding the bus to Florence. At 2am-5am we were passing through the most beautiful snowy mountains!!! Unfortunately we couldn't get pics of them because it was too dark and even if we could've our dang camera was dead. We made up for it though come sunrise because we drive all throughout the mountains until we reached Salt Lake City, Utah where we stopped while they changed drivers and serviced the bus. You can smell the salt in the air so it was like being on a beach without being on a beach!

We all got checked by security before we got on the bus in Utah. Not the most exciting moment, me and bro were both nervous wrecks even though we didn't have anything on us or in our bags that could be considered a weapon. But we got through it okay!

Also I think I've discovered why me and bro have been feeling so off but I'm not entirely sure. We thought we were having a bad case of motion sickness from all the riding around, which we still could be, but I'm thinking it's more to do with the change in altitude than anything because we both keep having headaches and being nauseous, our faces feel hot (to ourselves) and our ears keep popping. Plus, and forgive for the TMI but every time I blow my nose, there's blood. Like I said though I'm not sure but it's the biggest change we've had thus far so it makes sense. Our feet are also hella swollen from the riding and stuff too and they ache x.x but we'll be okay!

Just a little longer and we'll be in Florence \o/

Ignore my time on my tablet I forgot to change it x333 Here's what our schedule for this connection is!

[ephandkaftrip]

Okay we got to Denver safely (on the third bus...) And it's actually pretty nice here -- for a bus station anyway.

They gave everyone meal vouchers, so we didn't have to pay for what was literally our first decent meal today (it was like 9pm when we ate). But we're safe and our tickets were reissued without a problem.

We're gonna get to go through Portland!!!! \0/ woohoo

Now it's waiting for another hour til we can board, but it's going good now. Here's hoping it'll stay that way!

I'll post up the new schedule btw.

Adding to the update from oocsy, this guy sitting in front of me let his chair way back and boy if i wasn't a quiet nerd, I'd be shoving my knees against his back *n*

And now the asshole moved seats but didn't let the other up wtfffffff

Currently sitting in the Greyhound station in Amarillo, Texas while the bus gets serviced and changes bus drivers. We're set to head out about 3:30 AM Central Time. Had a bit of a problem with our bags because apparently it was showing we only paid through to this point but that's not what we did???? We almost had to pay $30 again to get us paid through completely but the manager said we can just have two carry ons and it won't be a problem. So that much is good. We're running behind schedule again unfortunately but there's nothing much we can do about that.

On top of that me and very think we've been getting motion sick from all the riding around. Fortunately, this terminal had a vending machine with Dramamine along with some Advil (for general achiness) so we got some so hopefully that helps.

[ephandkaftrip]

Ignore the ad, i couldn't exit out of it. Goddamn bastard it is

[ephandkaftrip]

We just barely made it in time for our bus to Denver, CO. But we're safely on it and headed to the first stop which is Fort Worth, TX! Sis is actually sitting next to an Oregon native! He was just telling us how we'd be seeing mountains and lakes galore!

Woot!

I'll post up where we're headed for this leg of the trip so y'all can see!

-- Leigh

PS, i got some damn gorgeous photos of a sunset in Dallas! They're on my camera but I'll upload them as soon as i get my laptop up and running in Oregon.

[ephandkaftrip]

Yeah we're like an hour behind schedule. I'm just hoping our transfer doesn't leave without us.

Other than that little fuck up, things are going okay.

I'm listening to kpop radio on Spotify hohoho

Bang Bang Bang is totally my jam since it came out ok

So we literally just left the bus station and I think we're behind schedule because the bus driver was very late but it seems to be all good otherwise! Here are some highlights from this morning!!!

As of 5am-7am this morning

Our bus driver reminded us of Sullivan just a little! A stickler for the rules but still nice!!

We took pictures of the Mississippi station we stopped in as well as audio since it was a located underneath a train. It was very loud but verrrrrry soothing at the time time???

While in the station, there was a guy video chatting and he was using sign language. I had to keep myself from staring because it was amazing to watch him!

These two kids who are traveling in the bus with their parents are just downright adorable. Bro is trying to get the littlest one to smile at him and I got two from her when he went to the bathroom. ;3

(sis is also a rude lil shit too, nevermind the fact that im the youngest)

Convo courtesy of bro's previous comment:

Me: Youngest doesn't mean the bestest bro

Bro: There's gotta be a draft before the final

Me: -.-

That's it for right now!! We're gonna try to take more pics today to make up for practically none yesterday since all the interesting places we went through at night adfgjkmz

[ephandkaftrip]

just did our first time travel lol crossed Alabama's state line and we're no longer in tomorrow, we're back in yesterday lmao

timezones are so weird btw.

[ephandkaftrip]

Here's part of our schedule! From Atlanta, GA to Dallas, TX :) These are just estimations, but it's been pretty on par this far, so there we go! \0/ -- Leigh

[ephandkaftrip]

Finally in fucking Atlanta XD i hate this place lol anyways, we're here for a while -- three freakin' hours hcjyrdkyrx

Either way, we're safe and THERE'S FOOD HERE I'M GETTIN FOOD THIS TIME GDI

We only got chips one stop orz and then the one after that, we didn't get off but we should've bc our favorite fast food restaurant was there ;;

I'm sad about it TBH bc I'm sure Oregon doesn't have it there :<

-- Leigh

[ephandkaftrip]

Already had one bathroom stop, headed to the next stop and there's a little restaurant there!

Might get some food. I wish I'd taken pics of the chicken we got earlier but we were still nervous as hell so we were more worried food wouldn't stay down XD

Luckily, no sickness!!! Kinda hungry actually lol

Imma try to take some quick pics with my tablet soon but the real good pics will be uploaded later from my camera :D
