My trip to Seattle was going great until I got to Seattle. There, I learned that all of the luggage from the Portland, Maine connection had been lost or misdirected in JFK, so I am without the majority of my clothes. Thankfully, My Prescient Wife, Rori, hinted that I should split my clothes between my carry-on and my checked bag. My mother's experience this summer while traveling to Germany of being without luggage for a good portion of her trip was also on my mind, so I had kept one change of clothes in the carry-on as well as all of my toiletries. I must assume that JetBlue will find the bag and get it here sometime tomorrow.
With this news weighing heavy on my mind, I get on the Enterprise bus to go get the rental car. When I hand the agent my reservation (that had been made my Hewins AAA Travel in Portland, Maine, from whom I had specified Enterprise), he showed me that it was in fact for Hertz. Imagine my delight when he asked me if I had rented with Enterprise before, and I told him that I had a corporate account and that I rented locally in Maine about once a month. Having found my account, he was able to match the rate and get me out the door in about 5 minutes.
Hooray, Enterprise, for redeeming one part of this trip. Next time you need a car, give them a try.
I wanted to thank you very much for this ensightful review. I have already bookmarked your site, and when I have more free time I am going to have to do some further browsing here. Well back to day dreaming of Austria - or back to the work books - I wonder which one is going to win out.
Kind Regards
