In the dime stores and bus stations, people talk of situations, read books, repeat quotations, draw conclusions on the wall. Some speak of the future,
my love she speaks softly, she knows there’s no success like failure, and that failure’s no success at all.

Day Ten: Road Trip, Charlotte, And A King-Size Room

I managed to pack without waking too many people up and I walked down to Union Station to get the Megabus to Charlotte.  The journey itself was not too eventful as you couldn't get too good a view of the surrounding countryside (Virginia and North Carolina).

We eventually pulled into the outskirts of Charlotte at about 4pm from where I got a cab to my motel near the airport (my 20 minute cab cost more than the 9 hour coach!)  I had to stay in a motel because there were not any hostels in the Charlotte area.  Fortunately, the motel was pretty nice and I managed to get a king-sized room for the same price as a basic room.  After a few days in a hostel, it was nice to have your own room and double bed in which to spread out.  Being a little boring, I switched on the TV to watch some baseball before getting an early night.
