Excuse me!!

You couldn’t believe what happened!! Two friends and I were planning to go to New York to spend Memorial Day there, at the time we decided to make the trip was too late to find a flight and e thought that would be a great idea to get there by bus, will be adventurous and different. We hadn’t thought this very well and we couldn’t imagine what is about to happen to us.

When we were in the station everything seemed very normal, until we had to board the bus and the man in charge said we have to wait for another bus, at the first moment we were a little worried but then he explained to us that sometimes they have to send two buses when there are a lot of people travel to the same destination.

While in the bus we were very relax, my friends started to talk to each other (not too loudly), when the bus driver turned back and said to them in a very rude tone “Excuse me!”  asking for them to get quiet. We were shock but then quietly I had been enjoying the view and my mind only could think about New York like “All your life you’ve wanted to go there, 7 hours more won’t let you die” but what I didn’t know was I´ll not going to make it by bus.

At 1:00 am we arrived to Cleveland and we had to leave the bus despite our round trip was without transfer, but we did what the bus driver told us. When we had to board the other bus there weren’t enough seats for us!! The bus was overbooked, the two buses from Chicago had become in one to New York. Took to us like 5 minutes to realize what happened and start to think what to do.

The next bus to New York will leave at 5:00 am and will arrive at 6:00 pm – that would be insane after 8 hours of travel to Cleveland- One of my friends panic and started to cry, but we had to think what will be the better solution, so we called to the hostel and we could cancel the reservation, so we decided to go back to Chicago and asked the bus company for a refund.

Despite the staff of the bus line was so rude to us, we received total refund for our bus tickets- I think because we made such a big drama- And the hostel will refund us too. Finally when we took the bus to Chicago we were so happy but we didn’t know how exhausting will be the road and that we will have to stop cause a flat tire!!!!!!
