Are we awesome? Yes?

Our brilliant strategy for the day was to maximize our last day in Rome by seeing museums in the morning, having a leisurely lunch, then heading to the car rental place in the Roman burbs just in time for them to reopen at 2:30 post-Siesta. We arrive by cab at 2:20, then wait about 20 minutes in the rain before realizing it is Saturday. Europecar closes at noon on Saturday. Awesome.

Thanks to the Kienzle/Moon superpowers, we rapidly figured out an alternative. A quick call to the US hone base of Europecar and we switched our car pick up location to Naples. And within the hour, we were on a high-speed train to Naples in business class enjoying complimentary wine and views of the stunning countryside.

Crisis averted. Go team.
