The lure of low cost, lightweight & independent travel once again beckons. Living in youth hostels & pensions, eating off the side of the road with long cramped rides on buses, trains, ferries carting only what we can carry on our backs. The post GFC environment sees me once again hitting well worn tracks to explore cultures, sights and interact with people.

Greyhound through the south
Greyhound has an excellent business running throughout the southern and midwest regions; now I'm sure this is a national business, this is only my observations from my limited time in the United States so far.
I was surprised at the size and structure of the Greyhound terminals, this terminal arrangement runs in an efficient manner moving multitudes of people daily. You make stops at cities between destinations, some are short 5 minute drop off/pick up, others may be a 30 minute rest stop for the driver.
If you are not in too much of a rush, you can jump off one bus and pick up a later bus for a short city layover. This is what we did, an easy way to explore a smaller city that you may not have visited had you not had this option. Any future trips through the south and mid-west is going to be undertaken in such a manner so more American cities are explored on short duration trips.
