Unexpected roadtrip.
14 years ago
So Monday night my sister got on a greyhound at 9pm to come down to New Bern. She was supposed to arrive at 6:56pm Tuesday. This is the same route I took exactly a year ago to get down here. So she does well from Paducah, KY to Nashville, TN and then to Knoxville, TN. We were texting the whole time she was on her buses. So she's in Knoxville around 6am. Her bus leaves to go to Asheville, NC at 6:10, she's in line behind about 15 other people and they're told the bus is full they can't get on. It then took them 4 hours to get a bus just for them because it broke down on the way and they had to get another. She makes it to Raleigh around 3:40 pm which is 10 minutes after her bus left. She found out about two or three hours later that the next bus wouldn't leave to get to New Bern until 5:30am then delayed to 6:30am and then delayed once more to 8:00am. BJ and I got in the car and drove the two to three hours to Raleigh, got her and drove the two to three hours back. We got back about 2am this morning. She's here but I'm now worried about her trip home next week. They took her payment but refused to mail her tickets to go back stating we have to pick them up when we drop her off to go home. So Greyhound is not on our good list right now.
We didn't really tell anyone she was coming down so today Mom didn't know Britney was here until about 3:00pm even though I was posting about it on Facebook. I took a pic of her and I can't remember if I posted it on facebook or sent it to her but she was like "Is Britney there!?" and BJ had me text back "Nah it's Photoshop." Referring to a picture my sister did where she Photoshopped herself into a picture of Egyptian pyramids and mom freaked out asking if she was really there and how she got there. She said she was confused so she called dad's and his girlfriend said Britney wasn't there and then she texted back "Where is my brat!?" I said "Right here on my futon." she asked if dad and his girlfriend knew she was here.
