The bus

I'm sitting here waiting, packed and ready, to go to the bus station and take a 13 hour overnight bus ride to Pucon. We are in "semi-cama"...which is pretty nice...but it's nothing compared to "cama". The "cama" is the equivalent of a first class seat on a train or plane....except it's super cheap...It's about 10 dollars more. But even cheap isn't cheap enough for me at this point. I'm running out of money so much faster than I expected, and it's really a bummer. I'm over-analyzing what I'm spending money on, if it is worth it, if i'm being excessive...etc. Really, the situation is, I'm buying food...at the grocery store mostly...I'm hardly going out, and the rest is spent on transportation which really isn't that expensive. I guess I'm just realizing how hard it is to not work, and still have enough money to sustain you for a long period of time. The thing is, I will not go back to work unitl December 1st. So, I'm worried...I have a pretty inexpensive plan for the next couple of months, but what if I run out of money? I guess it will just add to my little adventure...the bottom line is...things always work out.

Sooo...back to the bus. The last time I was on the bus we got upgraded to "CAMA"!!! And...it was free! The saddest part about this whole experience was that we were sick the whole way home. So thank God we got upgraded...but those poor passengers in the Cama...who paid for the Cama! They had to deal with two sick girls and a lavatory that smelled like puke. Maybe that was a little too much information.... Anyway, I have not had the chance yet to fully rock the "Cama" experience. All things considering...the "semi-cama" is much more comfortable than a coach cabin seat in the plane. You can actually sort of stretch out and sleep comfortably, and the seats DO recline a fair bit. Needless to say, our 13 hour ride on the bus in the "semi-cama" will hopefully equal 8 hours of sleep for me....hopefully. That is all.....Cama vs. Semi-cama.....my vote: CAMA!!!
