Devall Travels

The flight left on time and we have successfully made it across to the US. With tailwind most of the way we arrived a little before we were scheduled to arrive but then sat off the edge of the taxi way for about thirty minutes as the stand we were due on was not free. Everyone began to get a bit restless. In the end the rumoured two hours to get through immigration was a bit off and it took an hour. It was just two hours after landing that we made our way down to car rentals and the National desk. We were the only people there. In the garage there were a few full-size cars and no Charger this year. So we have a Chevy Impala. Only after driving to the hotel did I notice it has Texas plates. And it's raining. Despite having avoid toll roads marked as "on" the TomTom took us on a toll road. We just went through the auto tolls as we will be billed by National. Maybe in daylight and less rain we will be better at avoiding the tolls. Checking I to the hotel was simple eno...

Finally here. Landed about 2229 MST and after a walk around the shopping centre that seems to form most of the airport we found a security guard who told us where the shuttle bus to car rentals was... Four floors below us and another long walk. The National office was easy to find and we were there only customers. I prefer National as all taxes and insurances are included in the quote. The guy pointed to a row of cars. "Take any one of those". My eyes flicked to the three Challengers... In the end we put our cases in an Impala then Claire saw the Charger SXT. We changed. The Papago Inn was easy to find (crossed fingers TomTom worked) and we checked in about 1230... Day 2 started with us going to bed shattered after 24 hours awake.
