Richard, it would of been better if they had let you drive the Mercedes.

My Mother took my two young girls and myself to Europe in 1990. She refused to rent a car and saved a little money by staying in cheaper places. I just remember hauling all their luggage around Paris and London. I had had it by the end of the whole trip. When I came home my Father said now you understand why he stayed home.

A car wheather you drive it or not gives me the freedom that that I so desperately need when traveling on land in Europe. Plus you get to see more.
