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!

I would go in a heartbeat. In fact I have gone a few times and loved it.
