I suppose they have direct bus routes, I was thinking back to the day when I took Greyhound from Iowa City IA to Chicago, a drive that takes 3.5 hours in a car, 8 hours the bus took. Didn't matter how cheap the bus was, I never did it again.

And if I happen to run into you at an airport somewhere before your bus trip, I'll even chip in a nip of Patron to help the ride more tolerable. (Rumour has it that the Megabus driver's not aware that EXPs get a free drink/food item when you're riding a coach. :p)

I've only been to FRA twice...and been outside of the airport for a whopping 20 min total. :p

(I tried to at least walk outside a little bit from one side of the terminal to the other even when I did my turnaround MRs there... :))

Sounds like one of those experiences where my dad would say, "well, son - it builds character..."

(What does that even mean?!?!?:confused::confused:)

:p:)

My Pop's favorite saying: "you should listen to me because I'm older and wiser"

Let's just say that isn't something this rebellious child wanted to hear or heed.:)

Congrats to LIH Prem! You lucky thing :D.

Just wanted to say thank you to Randy for creating such a wonderful FT community, I have truly loved my time here (even too much - hence the detox ;) ). Hope we still see you posting here from time to time.
All the best, DG :)

DG, Well said about Randy and FT community. ^
