What's the best/relatively cheap way to travel to Kentucky?
I'm trying to figure out a relatively cheap way to get to Lexington, Kentucky, from New Jersey. From what I've found, flying will cost me over $300, the Greyhound bus takes about 24 hours, which is too long, and Amtrak doesn't go to Lexington. It's an 11 hour drive, and I don't think my car can handle it. Any one have any ideas? Such as another train or bus system I might be able to transfer to when I get to Kentucky?

if you have a credit card with reward points you may be able to use those towards a plain ticket or even renting a car

I will probably sound philosophical but it depends on what you count as cheapest. I'm reminded of the fellow that took such big steps to save his $10 shoes that he split his $20 pants. Examples: walking is cheap but you have to eat and sleep. Do you not count that? A car can cost just gas, but do you also consider the cost of owning a car at over 30 cents per mile? If you hitchhike you still have to sleep and eat for several days. If you can find a cheap airfare, you can avoid needing to buy expensive food or finding a place to sleep. But that means avoiding airport food. I would guess trains don't get you close enough on either end. A bus is probably the cheapest way if you book ahead. You will have to sleep on the bus, deal with transfers, and to save money take food with you. You can pack things like crackers, cheese and peanut butter sandwiches which will last a few days. Try http://www.greyhound.com seven day advance purchase is $99 and a bus leaves Aiken at about 7:30pm and arrives in AZ about 2 days later at 5pm. You would spend 2 nights on the bus and need 2 days of food.

How are Mega-bus and Greyhound - safety-wise and travel-wise?
I wil be attending a school in Northern Kentucky come January and since I don't have a car I'm fixing to take the bus...It'd be closer for me to go to Cincinnati, OH than to Lexington for a bus terminal... So this would be a trip from Cincinnati to Ashtabula (northeastern Ohio) which is about 5,6,7 hours depending on other stops...I don't have much experience on long travel buses - so how are Mega-bus and Greyhound Buses' safety, and just the experience in general and all that? I don't need it to be great but just safe and cheap enough to get me to where I need to go....I'll be taking this lil jaunt about every 6 weeks so hopefully it won't be too awful...

i've only been on the grey hound bus a couple times. overall it's pretty safe, just make sure you have head phones on at ALL times, pretend you're sleeping or whatnot. cause the last time i was on one from st. louis to chicago, a 6 hour bus ride some dood was talking to me the whole time and wouldn't shut up. he smelled and he was telling me that he just got out of prison and going home to see his kids. he wanted to be friends and asked for my number and everything. i tried to pretend i was sleeping but he just kept on talking. yeah, that was the last time i ever went on a bus. so, unless you're with someone you know, or just leave your music playing then i guess it's safe overall. good luck~!!

I know that Greyhound doesn't attract the best clientele and that must Greyhound stations are in very rough neighborhoods. Remember bus carriers don't check passengers for weapons before boarding like the airlines do.
3 :
My children (ages 17 and 12) took a Greyhound bus from Charlotte, NC to Lexington, KY and back this past summer. My son (the 17-year-old) said it was OK - boring, of course, but not too bad. He said, though, there were some people on the bus that got kicked off when he reported them for smoking on the bus. He thought they were pretty creepy and was glad they were kicked off. I know of a HS-age girl (18 now) that has an obsession with hand-sanitizer because of something that happened to HER on a Grey-Hound bus several years ago. A man started to lick her hand. Another passenger saw, reported it and he, too, was kicked off - right in the middle of nowhere. You can take that as you will. I don't know anything about the other company you mentioned.

you are lucky not to travel like 72 H or more traveling by Greyhound is a pain in the ass, they stop a lot where they want to I mean where the driver wants to and they feel like they are the bosses and can give you orders, you have to eat what driver feels like and sometimes they pick up their lovers to get companion you know but, other than that they are pretty much safe I guess so, y you where traveling more than 73 h like I did you might erase your middle ass mark and is really boring, is more fun to travel by train even if you get coach seat which is cheaper but, you have freedom to walk in the different cars, get a snack, play cards, watch a movie etc,etc.
5 :
If there is anyway at all you can take the train (Amtrak), do it. It's your best bet, and its far more pleasant. If that is not an option for you, just take steps to keep yourself safe. On the bus, sit towards the front half. Choose who your seatmate is if you have to share a seat, you can do this by sitting next to someone who seems okay to you as you get on, or by taking an empty seat, keeping your belongings in the seat next to you, and as the bus fills up, only move them as you see people that are potential seatmates get on. At stops, keep your belongings with you, and dont seclude yourself anywhere. A 6 hour ride wont be too bad, just bring some music and magazines along. There usually isn;t much room to set up a laptop on a bus.

About 25th wedding anniversary in April. Where is a good travel location
25th wedding anniversary in April. Where is a good travel location?
I am disabled and not able to walk very far. I'm allergic to the sun also but hubby being from Costa Rica hates the cold. Anyway, my dream has always been Bermuda but we only have about $1,000 to work with here for about 3 days. I would like to go somewhere outside the USA. We are not willing to travel to Asia, Middle East, etc. We will be flying out of either Chicago or Lexington,KY. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I would go to Canada. I know it won't be warm, but it also won't cost a fortune! You could also go to Mexico. Small homey towns that won't rape your pocketbook! Check with a travel agent. "T" Last I checked Florida isn't out of the USA!

Destin, FL absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

You may try going on a Free Cruise from one of those Vacation Timeshare companies.
