New York Naturally

Off to an informal college reunion in New York, I went with my daughters last Friday.  So how does a holistic girl do this?  Well, as I don't drive, we used public transit for most of the journey.  First I would like to sing the praises of Mega Bus.  We took it from Boston to New Haven, as we were staying about half an hour from there, in Connecticut, but this bus line has routes around the country.  A friend told me this company might be cheaper, when I was grimacing at the price of Greyhound and Amtrak services to the same point.  The Mega Bus starts at $1 per person for the first person that reserves for a particular route!  The price increases as the bus fills up.  We were reservation numbers 5, 6, and 7 for our return trip, and so our return trips to Boston were just $6 each!   Traveling on a Friday to get there, reserving about 2 weeks in advance, reservation numbers 12-14 was just a bit more expensive, at about $11 per person! The whole trip, for myself and two children was $53 round trip.  I was amazed and excited!  Planning a trip somewhere in the US?  Check out Mega Bus at  http://us.megabus.com/?news=google09sale&gclid=CMn3z-_Lt7ECFYFo4Aod7WwAlw

So how is this part of the holistic lifestyle?  Think about how much gasoline  is saved.... That bus had about $100 people on it!  And all the money saved can be put into buying organic and natural food on the road, and visiting some awesome dining spots!  Curious what we did and ate in New York City?  Check back tomorrow when we will talk food.............
