Q: My wife and I, both senior citizens, will be traveling to Fort Lauderdale in August 2008. Is it possible to travel to New Orleans from Fort Lauderdale by day coach or is the distance too great? If so, can you give us the names of moderately priced hotels where we could stay over? - R.T. Brown
A: Travel by coach between the two cities will take you an entire day and night. The Greyhound morning service takes 21 hours, 45 minutes and the evening departure 23 hours, 40 minutes. That's a long time to sit in a bus! The one-way fare without reductions is about 100 US dollars per person. Flying would be a better option, as the flying time between the two cities is less than two hours. The one-way fare ranges from US$155-US$260. However, if you are set on going by bus, you could break your journey at a city roughly midway such as Tallahassee. That would give you an 11-hour journey for each leg. A hotel room at a Days Inn or a three-star standard motel in Tallahassee should cost you around US$50 per night.
