Got to Glasgow, go out to my rental car, and didn't remember that it would be right hand drive until I opened the wrong door.

    I didn't get in an accident, but that was a **** tense drive from the airport to the hotel on little sleep. Didn't take too long over the next few days to get used to it though.
    mookie's issue was stupid things, like walking into a parking lot and almost getting run over dum stuff like that where one thinks they can turn their brain off

          Strongly considering a weekend beer-centric trip to Boston soon. Since JetBlue started flying to MSP, Delta's flights to Boston have plummeted in price. Can get a round trip ticket for a weekend in June for about $100.

                    Sounds like they should have spent an extra $7 a day!

                        Correct.
                        Shift pattern is the same, too so 1st is far left (away from driver) and up. That was challenge as I kept going into 3rd when I thought I was in first. When we first got there I stalled the car about 50% of the time & thought I forgot how to drive a manual! Finally realized I was in 3rd and was doing pretty dang good to get it going that much. . Not my finest moment but pretty dang funny.

                            Anyone spent Time in Portugal? Going back to Europe for about 13 days this summer. Spend 5 days or so in my old stomping grounds of Berlin but then looking to fly to Lisbon for the rest to see a friend. Never been.
                            On delta, I can book all that as one trip for about 2400, or book delta into Berlin and then out of Lisbon back home for $1100 and then a one way from Berlin to Lisbon is less than $100 on ryan air.

                              I was in Portugal for a month two years ago. I flew into Madrid and then TAP into Lisbon. TAP does go direct from Philly and maybe jfk. I loved it there. plenty to see, nice people, great food, not too expensive. Can't wait to go back.
                              highlights were. The bakery in Lisbon, FADO anywhere, as much as I could get. Port in Porto,( be prepared, it's real strong) the castles in numerous places, the beach in Nazarre and the Algarve.
