Trying to coordinate travel plans

Hello PT.

Hey Tony,
There are a few factors that could help in your planning. It sounds as if it will just be the two of you? If so, what is your baggage situation going to be? The reason I ask this is because another option you had not mentioned was a van service. I have not taken the bus, but I understand it's much longer, there are no " facilities" on them either.
The vans leave pretty much on an hourly basis. The cost starts at $ 12.00 per person, usually allowing for one large suitcase and a carry on type size. You can usually pay an up grade for additional luggage. The other option is a private van, where you and your wife would have the whole van to yourself, and luggage isn't an issue, this service runs about $ 80.00, but another upside is, they will take you directly to your final destination, rather than the depot. The vans make the trip in approximately 3 hours.
If you need a van service link, hit me up with a P.M.
Good Luck in your travels
Neil
