Rental Cars

One of my favorite things about traveling is walking up to your rental car. It's like Christmas morning, you never know what you're going to get. Or a box of chocolates?

Having a fun car can make a blah trip much more enjoyable. Take, for example, my trip to Orlando last week. I got a convertable volvo. Who knew Volvo made a convertable? Not me. But, it was awesome.

Having a not so fun car can put a damper on a trip. On the opposite side of the car spectrum from the volvo convertable that I mentioned earlier is the minivan that I had in Maui. Yes, a minivan in Maui. To make matters worse, everyone else in the rental car parking lot (all being over the age of 60 -- did I mention that Maui is expensive?) had fun (mostly red) convertables.
