With you completely on the disliking driving. I guess it is good I am not allowed to drive anymore, at least right now, due to medical issues. You were able to visit states I have never been to. We have friends in Kansas we would love to see. As for the rental car, we do the same thing for long trips now. It saves wear and tear on our cars, plus ours are getting up there in the miles. Hope you are having a grea time.
