I have been using the same travel agent for the past two decades. He has become a personal friend as well as an excellent adviser. But he is about to retire and I will have to either find a new agent, or I will have to do my own research and booking on the Internet.

I think that because of all the availability of information on the web, I will be able to become my own agent. I will use web sites like Argus Car Hire for the information I will need to make any car hire Portugal or Spain, or anywhere else I might have to travel in Europe. They have a very easy to use web site and they guarantee the best possible price on a rental car. Whether I am in Lisbon, the capitol city of Portugal, or other locations in the country, Argus has convenient offices that can take car of my needs.

Of course, I want to deal with reputable and dependable service providers if I am to do my own bookings. I do not want to arrive in some foreign destination and find myself without the reservation I thought I had in place!

It has been a long time since I posted anything here about the Astros. I was gone for a week, then when I got home the team was in such a funk that it was hard to find anything to post. They lost 20 0f 24 games during the stretch.

I had not been to a game at Minute Maid in six weeks, until Saturday night. And what a game to return to active fandom. The game against the Red Sox ended up with an 11-10 victory for Houston. The stadium was full and the intensity was really high. I believe part of the reason for the energy was the number of Sox fans in attendance.

I was very proud of the ‘Stros for not giving up when they went down by two runs late in the game. And I am glad the Houston fans did not leave then, but stayed around to witness the outstanding finish!
