What to do?

My bf(the love of my life) lives 5hours and 45 mins away.I don't have a car and he don't have car nor drivers I'd,yet. We really don't won't to bother our family's with the situation because its our problem.so I was thinking bout just taking a bus on my own,but some say its a bad idea. What y'all think and what should I do because I want to be with him on valentines day.
