Thanks I'm aware of the bus options. I would consider the bus for myself to go to the Pocono's since I don't have to worry about parking a car at the bus station and someone can pick me up on the other end.

Problem for my family they have to drive to the bus station and leave their car somewhere. My dad is a freak about his cars and would never just leave it. Geez, someone might look at his car and make it dirty or something. LOL, the last time I was home he told me he could not understand how people use public transportation. I'm kind of thinking he won't be getting on a bus any time soon to visit. It will probably be best in the long run I find a good parking garage for my Dad when he visits.

I'm definately thinking of trying the Greyhound bus to Easton or Stroudsburg area. Last time I checked it seemed inexpensive too.
