I really enjoyed the trip from Vancouver to Golden. Clean toilet👍only drawback was unavoidable dirty windows so couldn’t enjoy the view as much as I’d hoped . But it was lively

My husband was extremely I'll, not able to leave the bathroom with a bucket kind of sick. I tried to cancel online but being unable to give 24hour notice the site said to call. The number just rang endlessly so I emailed asking to be put on the bus the next day. A few days later now I've missed work and had to pay sitters to stay with our son. Money is a struggle for us so hopefully we will be able to get on the bus in 6 hours since no one from the company will respond to us.
