Thanks again!

This would be on Thursday, March 16, so RJ302 leaves at 1730. That puts its arrival at about 1825. Is that enough time to start the border crossing process on the same day? Nothing wrong with another day in Amman, but we'd rather move on.

If we can rent a car at the hotel and return it in Aqaba, that might be the way to go. We could leave after breakfast, get there around noon, and complete the crossing by mid-afternoon.

My next steps:

1. Talk to the tour organizers. They're closed today, since it's Sunday in the U.S.

2. Check car rentals from the Jordan Valley Marriott to Aqaba. Do you have any suggestions for agencies we should look at? Would taking the tour's bus to AMM and renting a car there make sense, even though we'd be going out of our way?
