Pros: Good trip overall. I was bummed about my ticket back tho. Wanderu didn’t notify me and it was delayed. Also the greyhound booth was closed so no one there could help me. I ended up not being able to catch my greyhound back home to grand rapids. Cons: Notification settings. Tips: Plan adequately and print your tickets or they will not be accepted.
