"A Trip to Remember" essay contest seeks stories from seniors (55 and older). This contest rewards the best stories about travelling by Greyhound bus, and entries for groups may only be submitted through senior centers.

The twelve winning essays, as well as the essays of finalists, will be published in a book.
This year's winners will receive a free round trip travel for two to Denver, Colorado to receive their prizes at NCOA and ASA annual conference in Denver in April 2002.
