Have you ever missed the bus while traveling? Ever mess up your own travel itinerary?
Being thrown under the bus is no fun, nor is watching the bus leave without you….
My son is down in Los Angeles now, or nearly so. He still has an hour or two on the Megabus until it pulls into Union Station. It is almost a miracle that he is that close.
Originally my son scheduled to fly down to Los Angeles months ago for a gaming tournament this week. I thought that was all set. Then somehow that got cancelled. I am not sure why that went awry, but it did. My son was a bit touchy on the details and I didn’t press him. “I got this, don’t worry.” I always wince when I hear that, but okay.
Next, I heard he was going down on a bus with his friend the night before the tournament. Turns out he’d bought a ticket for the following morning by mistake. He had to watch that bus leave without him that night with his friend on it. So now he is traveling down alone on a bus on the day of the tournament. With luck, he’ll arrive “refreshed” after the eight-hour bus ride an hour before the competition starts….poor guy.
By the way, I can’t be too critical of my son’s messing up his travel plans as I myself have rather a checkered past in that regard. When I was his age I ended up dancing around tarantulas in the cargo bay of an old beat-up Mack truck while being illegally smuggled past Tapachula from Guatemala onto Mexico City. That was after watching the last bus leave town without me on it. I still can’t look at a bunch of bananas without twitching a bit.
Have you ever missed the bus?
