Once again, I am saved by NOT leaving something at home that I didn't think I'd need. I took my Zen Micro MP3 player with me and ended up listening to it all night long on the bus. The driver played 2 movies (Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas with Brad Pitt as the voice of Sinbad and The Fantastic Four) but for the most part, I listened to my own tunes. I only got off the bus once (after checking out the sloshing toilet in the back I decide I need to get off and go). I have a window seat most of the way and probably slept for a few hours here and there. The night is clear and even though the windows are tinted, the multitude of stars are clearly visible away from any big city lights. The Big Dipper is my companion for much of the trip.
