I'm not saying I'd ride around on the buses just for fun, but as we've become weary of travel & long bus rides, they've been a treat. When gearing up for a 20 or 22 hour bus ride (we've had a few), it's been awesome to do it comfortably.
Here are some visuals:

Value-Packed Travel
We've splurged on the bus trips we've had over 20 hours, (San Pedro de Atacama to Santiago, Chile & from Buenos Aires to Iguazu and back). The pictures where we're reclining we've been on the lower part of the double-decker bus in the "cama" or bed seats. The top deck of the buses are "semi-cama", and recline a bit, but afford less room. The upgrade is US$10-15 per seat. The last bus that we took to Iguau Falls was $54/ person for 20 hours of travel. Not a bad deal, and in my opinion, it's well worth a better nights' sleep.

The nice thing about these fancy pants buses is I find myself saying impossible things, like "has it really been 20 hours already," and "huh, that wasn't that bad." Which frankly are absurd comments, but I guess time drives when you're having fun.
We're silly and adventurous, computer geeks and yoga peeps.
