Day 1

Having both my mother and father at the airport  at 5am  was a perfect send off to this adventure. Everything had to go according to plan today- the flights had to be on time as I was scheduled to arrive  at 11am  and then taxi to Hertz to pick up my van before they closed at noon. The flight arrived early and I cruised in to hertz to find my black grand caravan ready. Bad news was that there was a quarter inch dent in driver door and the power doors feature had been left off the fleet version. I checked online to see if better vehicles were available but nothing was even close. I had a good deal despite the lack of power doors and the dent. I took her to the Busy Buggy mechanic (good ratings on Google) and got a full checkup-- the mechanic said she was in very good shape, surprising to him as most used car inspections find major issues. I only have a few old radiator hoses to replace which I'll have busy buggy do when page and roman leave. $300-500 to put her in tip...
