Sheryll:

I actually don't mind public transportation. Of
course, we don't drive, either Andy or I, so we don't
really have a choice. And most of my bus trips have
been relatively uneventful. In fact, the same trip
that had the threatening young man was also one of the
most fun trips down to Texas. I had 2 other traveling
companions all the way from Detroit to Dallas. Very
unusual. But we had pretty uncrowded buses, had seats
to ourselves most of that way and had lots of good
late night conversation. 

The same habit of talking to anyone that drives my
daughter crazy also serves in good stead in traveling
situations like this. And I always manage to find lots
of fellow HP fans along the way, generally without my
even mentioning HP first. Sometimes they see me
reading one of the books, or they are, and
conversation just goes from there.

Sheryll, also thinking apparition would be much handier
