Sorry A', I missed your post!

My friend who is the great chef/critic/foodie is John. He's on the board pretty regularly as jscarbor. John's brother is Mike. Both John and Mike are cool guys to hang with...

It's just like one of those big Greyhound-type bus with the compartments that open on the outside and the luggage is stored "underneath" the riders. (I don't know why I'm having such a hard time describing that ). They're nice buses .

I'm returning on the 16th. I'm pretty sure that I'll have more than just a carry-on. I've never had any problems, though, and I've taken that bus quite a few times.

sure! Tyramania held my hand my first bus time... I can just pay it forward to you. I know how you feel, though, about public transportation. It's just so "foreign" to us here in Austin, isn't it? It takes about an hour to get to Playa, if I remember right. No regularly scheduled stop, I think, but seems like I remember an occassional stop to let someone off. I don't know - guess I'm always just tooo dang excited to remember the minor details.

Once you get to the bus station in Playa, you might want to then catch a cab to take you to your hotel - where are you staying when you're there?
