I've driven through Woostah. It's not exactly "the big city." 
And you certainly travel enough to destinations that aren't "the big city." It's a skill that's not hard to learn and is immensely useful. I know tons of people who live in Manhattan who don't own cars--but they all know how to drive. It frees you up from being at the mercy of often less-than-adequate public transportation or expensive taxis in many destinations.

Come on CDKing, if my Mom who was born and raised in Queens and didn't move to the suburbs (of New York City, a real city I might add) can learn to drive what's your excuse?

October 1st I made multiple bookings for cars with Budget for $8-$10/day with airport pick up (plus taxes). This rate was even available for pick up through next summer. Even saw pick up trucks for about this rate. Not quite as low now, but rates fluctuate a lot. I booked a 5-day rental for $88 including all mandatory taxes/fees for airport pickup (February).

Nice weather you all are having here today. Guess I picked the wrong weekend again. I did love the roller coaster landing though. I forgot how late the sun rises, not that it matters on a cloudy and rainy day

Lots of turbulence leaving and and arriving in SEA. Ran into the same flight attendants on a few flights. All on one flight and then individually on different flights and in different terminals. It was wierd since i never run into the same crews on UA.
Bear Tooth Theatre pub was a nice place to go to escape the cold rain. Got admission, beer and popcorn for less than it costs just to get into the theatre here in MA. Sadly i wasnt awake enough to go see Disneys Planes but Despicable Me 2 was good, gotta love minions.
I also bough myself a nice warm winter coat and gloves. Only $260 for both and the coat is based on the design of the Canada Goose coats but with duck down instead of goose down.
