Returning via Bus from Florida. Part 3

For the first 2 days, during my Granddaughter's party and Graduation,  I tried to put the Atlanta shooting behind. But I know there were two shooters and the police only caught one. I enjoyed the time I had with my daughter and her family. Unfortunately, it was hard on Boo as she just kept her tongue lolling out of her mouth and panting all the while we were there. I think she can't do the heat there so Florida is off the list to live.

Seems the Jacksonville Florida Terminal has the best employees I have seen all trip. Great way to start out my trip was, since I am disabled, my bag going below was tagged "Special Handling" which means Greyhound transfers my bag without me having to get it and lug it to my next change in buses. I wish I had that going down. I had to lug 2 carry-ons, one checked and my ESA dog Boo all while using my cane. Most people gave me looks, ignored me and pass me by until maybe lucky 13 appeared to help(this was on the trip to FL). Even during our 12 hour layover in Memphis TN Greyhound kept my checked luggage so I didn't have to worry about it and it went under the bus when the bus arrived. Now that's what I call servicing the Elderly and Disabled of our communities.

Boo was just getting tired of getting up and down the steps and also decided to slip her collar off. So I fixed the collar and let her sit on my lap for as long as my Fibromyalgia/Chronic pain would allow.

Would I go by bus again? I doubt it I'd rather take the Amtrak except in some areas you still have to switch to the bus. And if I do take the Amtrak I will be getting a sleeping car. The only experience I have taking the Amtrak was, when my son was just 6 days old, and it was in chairs only. He vomited on every shirt I had all the way from MD to CA.

In the end of all this I was the only one of the Family that made the trip to the Graduation. I don't think I will be alive long enough to see the rest of my Grandchildren Graduate. So seeing Charlie Graduate was the end of my bucket list.

I know new things can come along to help with my right sided cardiac heart failure. So I look forward to seeing them come to be used and accepted by the Big Pharma and FDA.
