As a school bus driver, I am blessed with regularly scheduled time off. These days off are why I became a bus driver in the first place. They give us time to do our favourite pastime: TRAVEL! During my time off, better known as March…

We accidentally drove into New Jersey a year ago. We were on our way to New York City and were impressed with how scenic some of the areas were. New Jersey is in the centre of the most populated area of the USA, and there is…
