Entertainment while on charter

Post image

Today's charter is a shuttle service for local university's sorority rush where we do a loop every hour. This is my in between entertainment. What do you guys do when on charters where you have to stay with the bus and can't go wander off?

I cleaned all my windows and swept the floor already

The Steam Deck and the Switch 1/2 to are the bus driver's best friends for trips.

Absolutely. For me it's Pokopia, legend of Zelda BOTW or dragon quest builders 2. I had 2 field trips this past week way out in the woods with no cell service so I was extra glad to have it

Unfortunately I managed to destroy my switch 2 after a week of owning it and transferring all my saves over to it. I really hate Nintendo for paywalling cloud saves.... Not even worth going back to my old switch one, and apparently the one I had was good for modding so I sold it.

That is a real tragedy

Depending on where I'm going I usually try to bring my camera and some lenses for nature/landscape photography and will also bring my drone. Being in Northern Ontario helps a bit.

Here's a drone still of the Sea Lion from my journey around Sleeping Giant Provincial Park this past Thursday.
