Michigan travel
Sep. 10th, 2009 02:51 pmI'm going to be traveling this weekend. I'm looking forward to parts of it very much.
Why, yes. I do plan to fly out of Logan airport the morning of September 11th. I will try to avoid talking about evil political conspiracies, though half the plan is to spend 2 days with somebody who sincerely believes in them. I'm trying not to think too hard about what's going to happen before noon Sunday, but I know it will involve shopping malls and lots of driving around.
At some point on Sunday afternoon, I expect to be in Ann Arbor, in the oasis of peace and good sense that is TheRCK's house, with no car.
What is a good way to get from TheRCK's house Sunday afternoon to Metro airport at noon Tuesday? It would be possible to rent a car in Ann Arbor on Monday and return it at the airport. I could handle driving from Ann Arbor to the airport once (if I didn't also have to drive to and from suburbia while dealing with my mother), and it might be nice to have a car Monday afternoon for doing useful or fun stuff with TheRCK. Unfortunately, the reasonably-priced car rental places ($40) do not seem to be anywhere near the bus lines. The only car rental I can find on a bus line is the Avis near north campus, and the lowest rate there is $75. Am I missing something? The last time I used a shuttle service, it was $55, but that starts looking like a pretty good deal.
