WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

The "almost" no fail system

All over the United States and in Europe, we have this system for renting a car. We always rent the cheapest and often smallest car. Auto Europe, Europcar, Avis, Budget never have a really small car so they always have upgraded us to a nicer car at no additional expense.

Last year we were upgraded by Auto Europe to a Mercedes Diesel for driving the Alps. Sweet.

Well, Hertz/Thrifty does have small cars. Actually they have miniature cars. When you want to drive the Rocky Mountains of Canada - pulling some pretty big hills - you need a car with power. Two weeks and two thousand kilometers in a lime green, mean machine and I was bushed, but have new respect for Mazda.


Two people, two suitcases, two weeks, two hundred kilometers, too much?
