America 2.0

Back in the good old US of A for the second time this year.

Managed to get myself a cheap direct (Newcastle to Orlando) flight. (Cost me £358 return)

I had reserved a 'Full-Size' Pick-Up with the rental company and they had the cheek to give me this...

It's a Honda Ridgeline.

They said that they had nothing else in the lot that they could swap it with.

This morning when I got up, I rang around a couple of the rental car offices close by to see if they could do a vehicle swap for me.

One hour later and a $65 refund for my trouble and I got this beauty!

Better yet, they said I could also return it on an empty tank! (So that will be me pushing it the last 100 yards!)
