Yeah we used Turo at Christmas. Flew in to NYC, they left the car in short term parking, and we left it in short term when we left. Was a brand new suv and everything was affordable and smooth

For us it was a lock box hanging on the window with a code the owner gave us. I’d imagine some might be in person though

Paris for a week and a half in November.

Wife has to be there for work each week bookending Thanksgiving, so the kid and I will meet her over there in between. Flying kid’s Nana up from Australia to be au pair as well.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.
