Sunday, July 6 - When we arrived in Portland, our plan was to switch to get a convertable to drive down the coast. Earlier in the day I said to Sandy, "It just occurred to me that we may not be able to fit all of our stuff into the trunk of a convertable..." So, when we got to Hertz, I let Yassim, the nice guy at the counter, know of my concern. He gave me the keys to a nice red Mustang convertable, and I rolled Sandy's suitcase out to give it a try. Well, you know where this is going... I couldn't even get her suitcase into the trunk. So much for our classic coastal drive with the top down.
The upside of this situation is that we got a full-size upgrade to a Toyota Camry, a huge improvment over the Honda Accord which we had driven for over 3,100 miles. Added bonus - it has a sunroof. At least we'll get a little sunshine.
About Me
- Ken and Sandy
- Road Trip 2013 (RT13) marks our 5th road trip in six years. This year: Shenandoah, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Last year was the South. We did the Northeast in 2010 and the Southwest 2009. After 2008, we learned to cover fewer miles in order to spend more time in each place. More like a vacation; less like The Amazing Race.
