We will have a week holidays for Thanksgiving and Florida is my top choice to visit. Here is my Thanksgiving Itinerary. The main transportation is Greyhound, and uber.
Some tips about taking Greyhound:
If you buy a ticket and you want to change the time, you need to pay extra fee. Thus, either you can buy a ticket two or three days before the trip or you have to double check with the time.
Be aware of the time. It's normal to have only two buses a day from one city to another, so you have to double check the time schedule. You can download the Greyhound app and you can see the time table and book the ticket through app. Also, 2:00 am means two o'clock in the morning if you miss it you have to buy another ticket. I will be arrived at the station 30 minutes before departure.
Watch all your belongings all the time. YOU ARE IN THE US.
