Would you join a bus trip to a quilt guild show?
When you do not know any of the other passengers?
There will be a big quilt guild show in June about a two-hour drive from where I live. I could drive myself and have completely autonomy, but of course would have to deal with parking. Or I could join a bus that will leave from a quilt shop 40 minutes from me. I haven't been on a bus in many years and I'm wondering if I would feel claustrophobic, especially since I am not a stranger to motion sickness and find noise pretty tiring. The bus leaves at 8 am and returns at 6, which means about 4 hours in the bus and 6 hours at the show.

I wouldn't hesitate to do it if I really wanted to go to the show. Its an opportunity to meet new people or just meditate a bit. I also have motion sickness problems but usually large grey hound type buses are okay. If it was a school bus type bus, I'd probably pass

I've done it. There's always some other singletons on the trip, and you might meet a new friend. I had a wonderful time! At the show, I just went and did my own thing. As far as the bus ride itself, that's something that you will need to decide.
