It’s all going awfully well.
We think we have a route (well, Mr. T does, at least – I have no clue), and we almost have a vehicle. We’ll be travelling in style (I hope) in some kind of SUV so that we can make intrepid detours off the highways into uncharted territory…
You would think that figuring out vehicle rental would be simple, but no. 
There are different rates depending on whether you rent from a concession at the airport, or elsewhere in town, which means I’ve been calculating whether it’s better to stay somewhere near the airport so I don’t need a car to get to and from the first and last hotels of the trip, or rent at the airport and drive further out of town to somewhere cheaper.
Plus there are deals on websites like Expedia, and discount codes to try. Plus you have to figure out if taxes are included or not.
So far I have six sheets of paper covered in notes….
But fear not – we will have wheels – hiking is not an option!
