when we got off the airport shuttle at the enterprise rental place, there were a bunch of dressed up people with papers in their hands waiting for us. uh-oh. we were coerced, shamed, and downright insulted into buying rental insurance. guess what - I DON'T THINK SO! i've rented a million rental cars for work and never has this happened to me. lame.
this is a picture of our friend, the chigger. despite not being anywhere near grass, kristy and i were eaten by these little buggers all up and down our legs. who knew? it's been a long while since i've had a chigger bite, but MAN do they hurt! the bites looked so red and pronounced that kristy was convinced she had the measles. she should stick to diagnosing the 4-legged variety animals only i think.
for being buttholes and generally trying to crap on our good time, both ENTERPRISE CAR RENTALS and CHIGGERS get a THUMBS DOWN!!!
on the plus side, we used my Hilton HHonors points for a free stay at the Embassy Suites near the convention center, and it was marvelous! comfortable, nice, clean - what else could you ask for? we missed the complementary "manager's reception" that happens every night (free drinks!), but were no less impressed by it. we also got almost a week free in London a few years ago thanks to the HHonors points.
as i mentioned to kristy, Mr. Hilton may not know anything about raising respectable daughters, but he sure knows how to put a rewards program together! Mr. Continental Airlines should take a few notes.
for being easy, fair, and fun, the Hilton HHonors Rewards program gets a THUMBS UP!
