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. |
Prism99 where is this show? I live in Eastern WI and wonder if it is anywhere near me. Thanks

It's the Minnesota Quilt Guild show held in Saint Cloud, MN. I'm in Western WI, so a lot closer to it than you.
|
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 would probably do that over driving by myself. I bet there are many more doing that and you might make some new friends. Eat on the bus so you will not loose quilt show time.
|
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.
|
I prefer to drive. I can stop when I want to, arrive when I want and leave when I want. I have been on bus tours and each time I say never again. LOL
|
There are games usually on the bus where you win quilty items. I might go on the one to Chantilly, Va. this year. I miss the fun you have. Go for it!
|
Yes any new quilters I have met have been awesome
|
I would go in a heartbeat. In fact I have gone a few times and loved it.
