Mar 29
Name it, it happened
Trip to Jim Thorpe, PA
Started out late
No appreciate
Stuck in traffic
Finally arrived on the NJ Turnpike
Bus made a rest stop thereafter
Two bus passengers didn’t return, and the tour escort had to look for
No galore
Two passengers returned
After we read for a while on the NJ Turnpike
Finally connected to the PA Turnpike
We thought
Had to wait before continuing on the PA Turnpike as there was a parade of cars and buses were commemorating a memorial Sept. 11, 2001 Attack
Since we couldn’t proceed on the PA Turnpike for a moment, we stopped at a McDonald’s just to use the bathroom
We had a restroom aboard our bus as well
Some of the passengers made a fuss
We were now maneuvering over the PA Turnpike, but will we catch up on time from the delay
After we rode for several miles, the Driver turned off thinking we had arrived at the destined route point
We were way off, and the Driver asked directions and was told we had 50 more miles to go
As we got closer, we got stuck in a Funeral possession and had to ride all the way to the Cemetery
We were way behind schedule
We were very late to the restaurant and arriving at 1:00 pm and we were supposed to be there by 12:00pm
Lunch was rushed, and we had to eat in a half an hour
That was the quickest lunch I ever had
It probably would have been better to serve us toast and butter
We were supposed to have an hour lunch, but time restraints
We were given free time to explore Jim Thorpe, PA on our own for 20 minutes
We had two events to attend
One was the train ride what was supposed to be at 1:00, but turned into 3:00 pm, and took an hour
Were scheduled to tour the mansion at 4:00 pm and that is the time they close, but was alerted in advance and we were accommodated for the tour
That ended at 6:00 pm
After touring the mansion, we headed for the bus to return home
Three people didn’t return, and the escort had to find
At least the escort was kind
Soon they returned
Homeward bound
I thought
The bus was riding for a while then suddenly the bus had mechanical problems
The PA System stopped working and mechanical at the same time
Brakes locked and wouldn’t unlock
There we were in the dark stuck on the PA Turnpike
Coach USA was alerted since that’s what our bus was
We waited for three hours for another Coach USA relief bus to arrive
Our relief bus had arrived
We had to get off our bus and maneuver to the relief one in our same assigned seats
It wasn’t organized nor neat
Passengers were cussing at one another
Moving with ease
Jim Thorpe, PA was in the Poconos which is a 2 Hour trip normally
Took us 7 hours to get to New York City and before we got to the city we had to drop off passengers in Rego Park, NY which was one of the pick up points then it was New York City
Arrived in New York City at 12:30 am
At Penn Station to take the LIRR home and had to wait for the 2:00 am and arrived home 3:00 am Sunday morning
Arrived from Hell bound throughout.
