Picked up the hire car (upgraded to a nice Ford Escape for an extra $12) at Palm springs this morning, managed to pack up and shift the TT into storage. Set off for Las Vegas. Now tell me the logic of Dollar Rent a car. Pick up Palm Springs, drop off Las Vegas - 260 miles. Hire car cost $40, which includes a full tank of gas! Now the Escape has a gas tank of 17.5 U.S. gals which at $4.00 p g is $70. So I have rented a SUV, incl. every insurance you can imagine, or need and $70 of gas for $52!!! Excellent.
So have arived in Las Vegas and are now hiding in our room away from the hordes of people on the street and in the casinos, however we have had an excellent prime rib dinner in the Imperial Palace and are now retiring to bed, slightly knackered after our drive. Tomorrow I may be able to wheel Sally out and have a look at the Strip.
