Daytona Beach, FL: Ahhhh... back on the bus again. It's the place where I get the best night's sleep, thanks to burrowing under covers (to combat the blast of cold air which fills the bunk) and to the hypnotizing hum of the engine (which lulls me to sleep better than a babbling brook CD).
But being tucked away in the middle of a moving vessel means not knowing how much further or where you exactly are when the bus exits off an interstate. However (cell service dependent), there's one way to find out exactly where you are... without leaving your bunk.
#38: The map app on the iPhone so you know that you're not there yet.

This morning, I awoke at 8:42am Eastern Time and couldn't decipher if we were pulling up to the hotel or not. After clicking on the address from my iCal event and googling directions from 'current location,' I could tell we were still 46.8 miles away, which meant we were probably at a truck stop.
This also meant sweet bunk sleep could go on for at least another hour. God bless the iPhone, the map app, the truck stop we pulled over to fuel at (so I could get another hour of sleep)...
and God bless us, every one.
