    Pocoloco, I kept getting you confused for Policia Loco because both your name sounds similar.

    JJ: Just be like water.

    Kitty: Sorry about that. I'm the uglier one, easy to remember that way perhaps.

    Rent a car in NYC and drive all the way to LA. You'll love it.

    That is probably the way to go if it is do-able.

    Our buses take the slow rural routes. Lots of stops. Slow getting there. Lower class folks quite often. Not great for longer trips. I might take a 2 to 5 hour ride like that. Not for days. It will be murder. And maybe smelly.

    If you are in ...NY say. You can take an easy train to Boston or Washington DC. 3 Hour trips. AMTRAK from Grand Central (if they are still there) or Penn Station to Boston or Washington. Two classes. Snack car. Don't get off between stations though. They will leave you.

    Unless it is an EXPRESS BUS it will take a LOOONG time. Like Albany to Boston..should be 2 1/2 hours but, the bus takes 4 1/2.

    Ill be flying from Either L.A. then on to Dallas and then to Oklahoma City or otherside of the globe From the middle East to Dallas (dont know why but people say its cheaper). Its a hella expensive flight so I am thinking of just entering in L.A. and then borrow a friends suburban or rent a car and drive to Oklahoma.

    I Lived in SoCal for 7 years, I've seen the La Brea Tarpits, Venice, Van Nuys, Ventura and San Diego... Im good there. So I will most likely only stay there as soon as my plane gets gassed up or my rental car gets delivered.
