The plans for next year’s trip to New Mexico is in the very early nebulous state. One week or two? Fly or drive? Fly partway and drive in the middle? Drive the Miata or rent a car for the drive?
Plan A is to fly to Albuquerque for just a week and rent a car. Stumbling block number 1, but not a deal breaker, is you can’t rent a convertible there. Only one company, Budget, even listed one, but claims they are sold out. I can rent a convertible in Phoenix (465 miles away) for $560 a week or Denver (462 miles away) for $400 a week, heck we can rent one in Augusta, GA (1532 miles away), but that would mean a 2 week trip and the car rental would be $1,300.
You would think that New Mexico would be a great place for convertible rentals.

Why don’t you rent in Dallas, then you can see Steve in Sulphur Springs (only 80 miles).

That is actually Plan C (or maybe its Plan D…)
