Its 9:25 and were in the greyhound station in Chicago,IL. Let me start off from the beginning , so my boyfriend and I are going to Marietta, Ga to visit my family. So it's 9:25 in the Chicago greyhound and we go and check in our bags. As we make our way to our line we were scared that the longest might be ours but we luck out and our line was only halfway full. Our bus didn't come until 10:40 so we just people watch and boy were there people to watch. All of the kids were the cutest little things, laughing, running, smiling, but the guy who was a professional recorder player was the best. So I'm listening to him talk about this and something caught my ear "bad romance"? His most requested song is bad romance by Lady Gaga and he started playing it all while wearing uggs, and let me just tell you it didn't sound like it at all not even a little. And then a bus rolled up one line jump up since they been there for a very long time and to my surprise it was our bus yay it was 10:30 and the bus is early this is going to be a great bus ride. So we get on take our sits and then I realize we got some talkers. In front of us we have a girl texting and talking to a guy who she just meet and just so happen that they knew some of the same people back in Tennessee. On the side of us were a hippie talking about different teas that can get you high and many other drugs and be hide him were two people who were just talking loudly and of course the back of the bus was live with a drunk man and were off. To let you guys know this is a 18 hour bus ride. First stop Indianapolis and the only thing there is the Colts stadium which just so happen to be across from the greyhound station. Now were off to Louisville, KY and its like 5 in the moring and its still dark but downtown Louisville is beautiful. And the best part was going past the Yum stadium where the University of Louisville play basketball and the kids wear KFC buckets on their heads. Gotta love the south! So were sitting on the bus waiting to leave to head off to Nashville and there was this sound like someone was choking,i wish it was choking but no it was the drunk guy throwing up right be hide my boyfriend and me. We had our bags under the sit and everything. We hurry up and grab our bags and my boyfriend went and got the bus driver and someone can on and clean it up. I was so scared that I would wake up and throw would be on me. Lets just have a nice quiet clean ride to Nashville please. Now that we are here in Nashville we get a hour break, its moring maybe ten and the station is pack with people from all over there very few places to sit but somehow we found some spots. I hate using public bathrooms. There never clean, not enough tissues or paper towels, and of course there's always and it wouldn't be a women's bathroom without a Line. (I scream that in my head when I first walk in) So I go in and as I thought everything was just how it always is a mess. I make my way back out to my boyfriend who manges to save my sit and we just sit there not doing anything but looking around. There's people chargeing their phones, kids crying, just people looking tired and then i spot something that should never be done i purple weave and that's when i knew we were somewhere far from home. Our number was call and were back on the bus heading to Manchester,TN. So we made it to Manchester and the first thing that caught my eye was this purple little restaurant name "Two Purple Pigs" and I wanted to go. This stop was only ten minutes to get out and stretch your legs and have a smoke, well I guess this couple didn't get the memo and almost got left be hide. I should back up and tell you that the bus driver told us before we get off that if your not back, you steal, or buy alcohol you will become a member of Manchester,TN. The population has to be a total of 200 people. Well we started to pull off without the couple and someone from the back of the bus yells "we still have two people in the gas station" the bus driver responds "there now members of Manchester, TN". As soon as he said that the guy comes running up look in the bus saw that his wife wasn't on the bus and ran back and got her. All i could think was if he was able to turn right out and didn't have to wait for cars they would have became members of Manchester,TN. They found their sits and we make our way to Marietta,GA. We get off the bus and right as we get off is my niece and my sister , smiling waiting to give us hugs. And that was the best feeling in the world knowing that they were there waiting for us and I'm glad that we took that 18hour drive.
