We do not mind tours that give us a good deal of free time, but even then we often rent a car and do or own exploring.
So far (besides the United States) we have rented cars and driven in a number of countries:
(Canada)
Scotland
England
Ireland
Spain
Gribraltar
Portugal
Italy
Austria
Germany
Switzerland
Lichtenstein
Bottom photo is of a tailgate picnic in a rented car in the Alps. A nice and relaxing time all alone. We often pack a lunch when driving and just find a nice place to sit and take in the scenery.
We usually book our cars through Auto Europe - a broker - who finds us the best deal through a major carrier.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

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.
