That's really good actually; there's a few roads that keep cropping up in their bar listings - I think we'll be looking for a couple of quiet drinks rather than a club after our day - we'll maybe give them a shot.

I'll be sure to come shout at you when you wake us up then, or return the favour when we go get breakfast You'll probably overtake us somewhere on the way - no doubt we're gonna be stopping at every random bit of Americana we see.

Thanks for the advice on the car rental - we're all 25 so no problems there. We booked it through a UK agent, so we got a way better deal than booking direct. That said it was all a bit messy; first there was only me of us going, then 2 of us, then 4, then 6. So we started with a Mustang drop-top, then an Explorer, and finally an Expedition. None of us have driven anything even approaching that size, so it could be interesting!
