While venturing back to Ohio to visit some old friends, and family, I took the greyhound bus. I'm not to sure how many of you have actually had the pleasure of traveling by bus, but it in fact an experience you will not forget. This is the 2nd time I have had road a greyhound, and it just kind of hit me today,seeing people travel... Weather its by car, bus, train, airplane, or even bicycle, people from all over the world, going to different destinations. Some carrying presents for loved ones, others carrying military gear for training. It just amazes me that you never think about these things when you are at home, or out with your friends, but people are always traveling. There will always be a plane taking off filed with tourists, business men and woman, and there will always be someone boarding a train or bus, to venture across states to see loved ones or to go to college, just as I am. (visiting friends and family)
Being on the road by yourself, just makes you appreciate the people you are surrounded with on a daily basis. For instance, I just watched (what I thought ot be a single mother) and her son and daughter re-unite with there kids father, and her husband. They seemed so overwhelmed with joy, just to see there dad get off that bus. Maybe they haven't seen him in a day or two, or maybe it has been weeks, I couldn't tell you personally. It just made me realize that you can't take what you have in your life (I.E friends, family, girlfriends/boyfriends) for granted.
