Hey guys! It's Debbie and welcome back to my channel!
When I last spoke to you guys
I was on a little bit of an "itty bitty" American roadtrip with my best friend and her husband.
We kind of explored the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan area
It was really cool, it was really neat--and if you guys didn't see that vlog
I will link it somewhere at the end of this video
but after that we flew to the east coast
to continue our roadtrip
and I'm going to do this video in a little bit of a "storytime/vlogging" style
so it's going to be a little bit different
Right after we left Dallas, we flew to Boston.
and we have always wanted to go to Boston
just because my friend and I have always had this fascination with the "Salem Witchcraft trials"
and not that we like practice witchcraft or anything like that
but we were really interested in it just because it was around Halloween time
and it was going to be spooky, and we just really liked the historical aspect of it.
and so we flew to Boston
and I really...
...actually liked that city.
WE'RE IN BOSTON!
We're walking around Pearl Street in Boston, and Wendy's being "Snow White" over here
After having spent like two or three days in Boston
We decided to take a Greyhound bus *DOWN to New York
and I've taken a Greyhound bus before leaving Nebraska to Los Angeles
so this wasn't new to me or anything like that
but while we were taking this Boston Greyhound
The bus left at like 1am, and it was suppose to arrive to New York City at about 4:30-5am--someplace around there.
At about like 2 or 3am, I was like half asleep--trying to get some rest.
and all of the sudden the bus makes this sound, where it's just like "JUH, JUH, JUH, CHUH, CHUH"
It didn't cross my mind that it was anything serious
I was just there like "Ok, there must be something on the road"
but people in the back of the bus started screaming like:
"WAKE HIM UP! WAKE HIM UP!"
and I think they were talking about the driver
because I was still half asleep
and I like shot up, because I think my brain processed everything
I was like "The drivers falling asleep, Thedriversfallingasleep!"
yunno, I didn't know if that was for sure what was happening
but because people in the back were screaming it , I started screaming that too
because I didn't know what else to do
I'm just like "WAKE UP, WAKE UP!"
It's so crazy because then a guy from the back of the bus runs up to the front of the bus
tries to take the wheel from the driver
because we all thought that he was falling asleep
Turns out, he wasn't falling asleep at all.
He was still wide awake. He stopped the Greyhound at the side of the road.
and he stood up
he looked at all of us
and you can imagine like all us, just staring at this bus driver
we just all looked at him like--yunno, kind of freaked out still
and then somebody in the back--again--was like "We thought you were falling asleep..."
"yeah, we thought you were falling asleep."
and the bus driver--he just kind of looked at all of us
he found it like humorous, but also he was taken aback by everything
and he was like this cute African guy, so he had like this really cute accent
He was like "I just had to move out of the way."
"You scared me. I'm not going to fall asleep, you guys."
and then turned back as if nothing happened, sat back down and continued driving.
It was so scary, but so hilarious at the same time.
Half of my brain was like, "Ok, were' going to die. This is it."
but the other half of my brain was like, "This hasn't flipped over yet..."
"...why haven't we died yet? I feel that would have happened already?"
but the thing that impressed me was that in that moment, all I'm thinking that I could do is just scream "Wake up!"
but that guy in the back that ran up
and tried to grab the wheel and like, steer the bus back on the road
Like THAT, really impressed me
because your brain must be on like--I don't know--on like "SUPER POWER MODE" or something
for you to be like "You know what--This is happening. I need to run up there. I need to grab the wheel. I need to SAVE US."
That's such impressive, courageous thinking and QUICK action to do so
even though we were all safe the whole time
Yunno, finally we got to New York
and guys...
I fell in love with New York.
Duuude, we're in New York
We were only there to spend the day--but that whole day it rained up until like midnight.
I was still so enamored with that city.
Even though it was, like, raining
even though I was, like, pms-ing
Even though we didn't have a place to check our luggage in until like 3pm
It was amazing.
and I definitely want to go back to New York someday
because I didn't feel like I got to see as much as I wanted to
Although we saw a lot that day--there was so much more that I still want to see.
So many neighborhoods that I still want to explore
Yeah--then we came back to Boston
and then finally, on Halloween day we went to explore Salem.
and Salem had it's own personality of it's own.
It has it's background with the Salem witchcraft trials
and there was like museums
and dungeons
and really nice colonial houses that had been preserved for years
It was really interesting being there as well just because it was a little bit controversial
and Halloween is kind of a big day for like Wiccans
I'm sure other religions as well
I dont' know that much about it, but I know we went to a little museum tour and they did tell us
"You know, for us it's Halloween. But for the Wiccans, it's like New Years."
so they do some kind of ritual on Halloween
So we learned a lot while we were there--definitely very spooky, very interesting
um..we got to dance a lot, there was like people dancing and they played music *in the streets
and then from there we headed back to Boston, and then back to Texas
and then from Texas we drove back home to Nebraska
This roadtrip was really eye-opening
Especially for me, who's unemployed right now and trying to figure out what to do
It definitely provided a lot of inspiration
It made me think about what I want in a place if I ever move to someplace new
but anyways, if you enjoyed this video make sure to give it a LIKE
