Hot damn, I made the good happy guys list!

Welcome Jim, you found the right place to help with your bus search. I'm a newbie here and just went through all the things your getting ready to go through. Not much more I can add at the moment, except set your goals and budget and read everything you can, especially all the archives from the other site. Tons of good stuff there and I'm really glad you joined POG, you won't regret it.

Lots of help at this site, hope you have a sense of humor, you'll need it here.
