Thanks for the advice everyone. John, I guess you will be on our cruise. Are you the one from Giathersburg. We are from Vienna. We were going to take the cruise excursion to Mt. St. Michelle. Why did you decide to rent a car? On the other hand, we are very into wine, and my husband is figuring out which chateaux he wants to visit in Bordeaux, so we are renting a car. Unfortunatley, we will be there on Saturday, so many places are closed. However, I know he has scouted out a few that will be open.
