PrisonBull Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 FYI - Was offered an upgrade to a convertible for $10 per day. We took it. 2013 Volvo C70. In hindsight a convertible is not the best idea for SHARKBAIT (untanned tourists). Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 If you're going to d a convertible the Hawaiian Islands is the place to do it.Hope you enjoyed the ride and that the sunburn wasn't too bad. ;) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
