Cool-looking grey-haired hippie guy: "Havin' fun?"
"No. I'm chaperoning 50 high school exchange students on their end of the year tour."
"Aw, shit." Then "Bless you."
Guy about 10 years younger than me gets on, and presses the same number I just pushed.
Me-"You're staying on 15, too?"
"Um, yeah."
"I'm in 1553, you may want to call....." voice trails off as I realize he thinks I'm hitting on him. Hurriedly, I say "I'm chaperoning 15 rooms of high school kids, I just wanted you to know in case they're too noisy."
He says nothing, and briskly walks out as soon as the doors open.

50 high school foreign exchange students, 4 chaperones, and one fantastic bus driver together exploring California and Nevada for 2 weeks. What could go wrong?
About This Blog and Main Characters
I am the lead chaperone on a 2-week bus trip for high school foreign exchange students throughout California and Nevada. This is my trip diary.
I love to b*tch, and probably am posting with about 3 hours sleep. I lack patience and a brain-to-mouth filter. I'm writing this for my friends and family who share my sense of humor.
CAST OF CHARACTERS-All fictional, I don't have permission to write about real people.
ROOMIE-My roommate, and assistant Tour Leader. Roomie is in charge of the trip funds. Roomie is making a return appearance from Tour 2008. Roomie is gracious, patient, and thoughtful. She's always impeccably dressed, coiffed, and manicured. We get along well because we're opposites.
DRIVER-Also a returning character from Tour 2008. Driver is consciencious, caring, and laid back. He has teens, and gets along well with the students.
LEE-first time chaperone
DOC-first time chaperone, in charge of first aid kit.
OZ-The man behind the trip, making arrangements from afar.
