Is GPS standard these days?
Some places have you rent them separately at an additional fee.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Every Hertz I've rented lately (3) has had a GPS. Even though I don't need it, and have to keep turning it off lest they charge me for it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Hertz stranded me in LA one year despite me having my driver's license, current insurance card, the credit card I made the reservation with, and my frickin' birth certificate ID card. And the corporate execs later responded to my written complaint more or less with "sucks to be you, we don't feel obligated to honor agreements."
If there's any way I can encourage people to use Enterprise, Budget Rent a Car, or any other company that actually makes customer service a priority I want to take the opportunity.

Oh, and Frank... you *are* bringing THE HAT, aren't you?
Well, after Jilli scolded me for considering not bringing it (due to packing and/or airport security monkey issues), I've decided I have to.

I had a very similar experience with both Enterprise and Budget quite a few years ago. I avoided them for years, but eventually hit the point where I decided it was an isolated incident.

Vortex, did you change your hair? ;-)
Maaaaaaybe.
Hey, just realized that no one is doing a list of arrivals/departures, etc. I hereby volunteer. so, if you want to be part of the list, please send me your:
Name
Board name
cell phone number
email address
arrival date/time
arrival method (plane/train/car etc.)
F2F location (i.e. hotel, Plei's house)
departure date/time
departure method (plane/train/car etc.)
(there might be some other information that I've forgotten, so I might augment this list tomorrow)
I will compile all of the info, then send out a copy to everyone who is on the list.
Are we doing name tags this year?

I think if we do they need some bats on them.
