Sunday
Fly into DFW and arrive at 11pm. How do I get to my hotel in Las Colinas?

Monday
Meet client A in Ft Worth at 0700. Drop in at regional office in Arlington around 1pm for lunch. Work with local field engineers in Plano until 1900 or so.

Tuesday
Meet client B at 0900 in McKinney. Meet client C at 1400 in Denton. Dinner meeting downtown Dallas at 2000.

Wednesday
Fly out of DFW at 0600.

NB: I do not drive at home and I utterly detest driving, in general, but, again, please enlighten me as to how I could manage without a car on the above trip, or with any other comparable trip (Roughly 40 per year)?
I'm not very familiar with the DFW area, but my guess is that this could probably be done with a mix of Super Shuttle, DART, and an occasional taxi as needed. It would be more expensive and take more time, but it's not impossible, and may very well be the better option for someone who isn't accustomed to driving in the US.
