Ah -- the way you describe being sick of trains is the way I feel about Greyhound Buses. The mere sight of them inspires a sort of nauseous feeling that I can't seem to overcome. I don't even like short, sightseeing tours on nice buses for this reason -- they give me Greyhound flashbacks.

Re: I must admit (none / 0)

I had some great bus trips as a kid. My dad and I would go to visit my grandmother who lived about a day away by bus. Since I was 8 or 10 years old at the time, my dad would drill me on math problems along the way and pretty soon, people from all over the bus would call out math problems for me to solve. Once we got to grandmother's farm, I got to feed her cows and string barbed wire and do lots of stuff I could never do at home.

The bus AND math? Add a spider and you're describing my worst nightmares! ;-)
