Travel Kvetch of the Day

My flights all went fine and this was actually a good day to be traveling since it allowed me to miss the mess caused by an Orange Line metro train derailing.

But, why oh why, when I had a reservation for a compact car did Avis "updgrade" me to a Grand Caravan? Yeah, my company will pay for the gas and all, but it still annoys me. (And, since it was a preferred reservation, I didn't know what sort of monstrosity I had until after I had left the counter and walked out to the lot. It was late enough at night that I decided to live with it.)
