So we are on our way to Vegas. I've been waiting years for this, but we can't write about Vegas without writing about the journey to Vegas. The easiest way was by Greyhound bus which takes 6 ½ hours from Palm Springs. What we didn't realised was that no normal American take the bus. We had been given one hint, which is not to sit at the back as every released prisoner gets a free Greyhound tickets and they always sit at the back. I don't think there were any on our bus, but at one place we stopped there was a policeman escorting 2 men onto a bus to LA and they looked so stereotypically like prisoners you see in the movies, it was hilarious! Sadly neither looked like Linc or Michael from Prison Break, more like Mexican homeboys in baggy jeans and white t-shirts with dodgy hair. Now having been on lots of different and pretty bad buses, we can safely say Greyhound is definitely one of the worst! We were instantly regretting buying non-refundable tickets to San Francisco from Vegas (14 hours!).
