Road Trip
So we’re in the final stages of packing. We leave early tomorrow for Fairfield. 400-plus miles, seven or eight hours of driving. I’m not driving, of course, my brother is - still don’t have my license.
The local Hertz office loves us - this is the third time we’ve rented from them. Sure, they seem more expensive than Enterprise or Rent4Less, but the others don’t have service up to Northern California, and Enterprise doesn’t allow one-way trips. With judicious use of web discounts, it all evens out.
We lucked out though - that’s a pretty new car. 2005 Ford Escape. Ohio plates, which means someone took it on a one way trip cross country.
As I’ve mentioned before, I hate packing. I’m a very disorganized packer, everything at the last minute. This time is no exception. I’m almost done, which means I have no idea where half my things have ended up.
So. Time to hit the sack early. Time to bid Torrance and Southern California goodbye, and time to hope we find better luck up north.
Time to pack it in and be optimistic for a change.
