Having words with the bus driver in Chicago, moved her belongings, pissed her off, I won that battle. Kim got the front seat opposite of the driver.
The bus was running almost two hours behind schedule. Finally we leave Chicago and are on our way to Indianapolis IN..
While enroute the bus driver was singing in a low voice. I noticed she had a very nice voice and complemented her. A couple of hours or so down the road the driver made an unscheduled 5 minute stop.
She meant 5 minutes. Someone got off of the bus and found themselves without a ride to Indianopolis. They got left behind.
Upon arriving in Indianopolis I had to take our luggage off because they were going to put us on another bus.
They ended up putting us back on the same bus, which ticked me off. I had to manuver or 200 lbs with no help. UGH!!!!
Back on board the same bus we had the same driver, so I didn't have to go through the front seat thing again. I just took it.
We left Indianopolis for Louisville Kentucky.
In Louisville we had to change buses. I went to talk to the bus driver about the seating situation and got ugly attitude.
I went and found a supervisor. The supervisor sent two mechanics to work on the lift for the wheelchair equipped on the side of the bus,for the other lady so that Kim could get the front seat.
That made us late leaving Louisville and pissed off another driver who could care less about people with disabilities.
Kim got the front seat again and I sat with her.
We finally leave Louisville and head for Nashville.
On the ride to Nashville the driver complained about Kim's cell phone camera. He didn't like the clicking sound it made everytime she took a picture. That was ok we had three more cell phones and a digital camera. We took pictures any way and that pissed off the driver even more. Smile I say you can be a star on You Tube.

Once we arrived in Nashville, thank God I didn't have to change buses and move all of that luggage. We had 45 minutes before reboarding and heading to Atlanta.
There was a driver change. We already had the front seats and the new driver was not too happy about having to put his bag somewhere else. He didn't say anything but then again he was not friendly towards us at all.
Nice to know I could make their day.

There was an incident on the bus. A woman was asking the driver if he was ok.
The driver asked the woman wht did she want to know.
She accused him of falling asleep at the wheel and swerving off of the road.
That did not happen. The driver reached down into his bag for a banana to snack on. He did not swerve or fall asllep at the wheel.
We had a stop in Manchester Tenneesse where the woman further accused the driver of touching her.
That didn't happen either. This woman had a problem for sure. The driver called the authorities and had her thrown off of the bus. He then asked Kim and I if we would give a written statement.
We did not return the ugly and gave a written statement.
The driver all of sudden had a change in attitude towards us because his ass was in a sling and he he became much nicer towards us.
We arrived in Atlanta at 5:30 pm. The driver told us we could take the 6:45 pm bus going our way so we would not have to lay over in Atlanta for 6 hours.
I went to the desk to make sure Kim was on the priority seating list so she could pre-board before anyone else.
We boarded alright and ran into another black driver with a major attitude up his ass.
He didn't like it that I insisted we take thw front seat. He wanted us to pay extra. He didn't like it cause someone over his head said we could take that bus. He was extremely nasty. Toooooo Baaaaaad!!!!!
We got the front seat and were on our way. I'm such a pain for all the right reasons.
A guy fell asleep and missed getting off the bus in Macon Ga.
When the passenger woke up, the driver told him that he was not going back and that he had to pay to stay on the bus until we reached the next stop. The guy did not pay so the driver pulled over on side of I75 and put the guy off of the bus. What a prick this driver was. He could of at least pulled off at an exit to let the guy off.
We finally arrived in Orlando at 5:00 am. The bus we needed to take was not scheduled to leave until 8:30 am.
Had another driver with an attitude. Little Chinese guy. He was not too bad though. He was just a little stirred up over the seating.
We finally got back around 11:30 am.
What a trip!!!! It was so nice to get home. Since the journey home began I lifted and carried almost 6,000 lbs with as many times I had to carry our luggage. Boy was I tired from that!!!!!
That afternoon the supervisor called from Indian Trails.
More to the story in the next post.
