I am traveling 2,000 miles through the American heartlands for 2 weeks by bus. What should I expect?

I am moving to a small town in the Midwest for a year for work. I am leaving from the West Coast (Oregon) and will be on this trip through the southern route (I-10). I have never taken a bus for more than a couple of hours in my life, but I have to do this because I don't drive. I also will be bringing 3 large suitcases with me. I have heard many different and contrasting stories, but I would like to know what you experienced if you ever had to take a long bus ride across the country. Specifically, the following:<br><br>1. How was your experience sleeping through the night in the bus? I will be sleeping through the night for 3 nights. I am a good sleeper but I am worried about the lack of comfort. I have earplugs, eye mask, and a neck pillow, but is there anything else that you used to sleep better?<br><br>2. How clean and safe were the bus stops? I am anxious about the bus stops, and I am especially worried about the night time stops.<br><br>3. Did you ever have to deal with loud, obnoxious, or annoying passengers? What would you do in those situations?<br><br>4. How did you keep yourself occupied during the trip?<br><br>5. Was the food at the stops acceptable? Where should I eat and what should I avoid?<br><br>6. I will be taking a bus with free wi-fi, but how consistent was the wi-fi during your trip? Should I have a backup plan to keep myself occupied?<br><br>7. Was it possible to walk around and stretch? How did you do it and how often?<br><br>8. Any other tips or advice you would give for a trip like this?<br><br>I just want to make sure that I am prepared for this trip and that I can handle it. Thank you!
