Anyone who has taken a bus ride that is longer than 4 hours knows its about the absolute worst way to travel. I just got off in Portland, ME after 8 hours of bus hell. My body feels like a pro wrestler tossed me around like pizza dough and I am running on about 4 hours sleep (for the week). It’s nothing a Guiness and a week of yoga won’t cure though:)

So why would I take a 8 hour bus ride at midnight no less, to Portland when I could have taken a much faster train. Well…

WORLD CUP!!! I Am a soccer fanatic. I believe there is no sporting event in the world that rivals the World Cup. I have come to terms with the fact that I will miss most of it due to the hike. There are however 2 games I am set on not missing. USA vs England and the final.

I would have been cutting it close by train. So I hoped a midnight bus out of NYC so I could be in town in time for the big game. Now to find a place to settle in and enjoy the worlds greatest sporting event!

GO USA!!!:)
