By Brian Smith


Time passes by so quickly specially when you are busy making a living. There will be times in your life that you find yourself stressed by various problems. After a very busy week, it is just right to treat yourself. If you have plans to go to Atlantic city, know that you could take the bus to Atlantic City from Long Island.

Taking an overnight bus is usually a great option. This can cover many grounds without losing time and can save you money. However, the journey though can be challenging at times, specially when this is your first time to travel on buses at night. Provided down below are tips that will make your experience safer and easier.

Stock up on movies. Stock up some of your favorites movies on your phone, tablet, or your laptop. You can just watch movies until you arrive at your destination. You might have a movie or television show which you would like to re watch again or there is a new movie you have not watched yet. Since you will be having fun, you will never expect that you have already arrived to your destination without you knowing it.

Create a playlist. Prepare your playlist in advance to make sure that the songs will entertain you throughout. Today, most people are using Spotify. Spotify has a lot of playlist for road trips and search for one. In relation to this is a headphone. As what many would say, never forget to bring headphones.

Find out if it has two drivers who will take turns or there is only one who will drive for the entire night. Drivers could get sleepy, putting the passengers at risk. It is best when there are two of them. If you are unsure about picking the cheapest one, think about picking the expensive one wherein you are sure that it has high quality.

Earplugs and eye masks. Earplugs and eye masks will help in keeping you undisturbed during the trip. There might be passengers who are too noisy, chatting with each other and laughing too loud, and the light can distract you. Passengers roaming around and getting on and off from it can wake up.

Bring a tissue, wet tissue, and alcohol. Washrooms on the bus can be pretty gross, and that is mostly the case. You might need to make a trip to the bathroom to either pee or poop. The tissue, wet tissue, and alcohol is important when visiting the bathroom. You would not want to end up cursing since you poop and there is no tissue inside the washroom.

Bring a neck pillow or any travel sized pillow. There is a chance that you will feel sleepy. You know how hard it is to sleep in a croaked way, and you could end up with stiff neck after sleeping in the same position for hours. To make it comfortable, a neck pillow is your answer. With this, you can sell comfortably.

Bring snacks and drinks. For long drives, buses usually stops by so passengers can buy food and drinks or for them to refuel. The only problem is that most bus stops sells expensive food and drinks. Try to bring your own snacks. This way, you can save some money and you can even bring the foods you like.
