Titusville - Road Trip to Brunswick to get our car

 

Early morning at Titusville. There’s a competition going on for best Halloween decorations with 
prizes awarded of $100 for first place, $50 for second, and $25 for third.

It’s surprising to me how few car rental companies will rent a car one-way. They all used to do it before the pandemic but now few do. In my search for reasonable rates, I found only Avis and their sister company, Budget, willing to rent one from Titusville to Brunswick. It’s a little over 200 miles and it cost $300 after taxes. Other companies wouldn’t rent one-way at any price. 

Our rental car for the day. I suppose it would be fun for some of the back roads 
but for the expressway, it was very noisy.

We were supposed to get a Nissan Rogue like our car but wound up with a Jeep truck. It’s one of those trucks that are quite popular where the doors and roof can be removed. I could picture a group of kids at the beach with a cooler of beer in the back. We, of course, kept all the doors and the roof intact. It was the noisiest car I’ve ever been in. It was almost impossible to carry on a conversation. I can only imagine the wind and road noise after a bunch of kids get done with all the removable parts. Are we just old-fashioned?

The trip was uneventful and now we have our Rogue with us for the winter at Titusville. We plan on exploring around Titusville and northern Florida. There’s the Merritt Island Nature Refuge, Kennedy Space Center, dozens of parks, Playalynda Beach, and some interesting places to eat. It’ll be fun..
