Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Just returned from a Mediterranean cruise and had to check in for an AC flight out of YYZ to our home city. Was surprised by a new lineup (once we did bag drop) before entering the security lineup where our carry on roller bag was seemingly laser measured for size. Many people in the lineup had their bags rejected as not meeting AC carry on size limits, like us. We ended up having to pay $50 for that bag (sent to another lineup to see an agent who tagged our bag and collected the money). This same roller suitcase has successfully made it onto many flight and into the overhead bins onboard without issue before. We were always under the impression that this suitcase met the airline size requirements for carry on, and in fact had been purchased with that in mind. Anyone have similar issues with AC? I wondered if the tag we had on the bag was the culprit in not meeting the laser's requirements? Seems like a new money grab to me and I wasn't impressed.
  2. I'm guessing this is the proper website: https://taxinordenvincent.wixsite.com/discover-martinique
  3. Interesting topic! I don't have the challenge of it being the 'wrong' side of the road as I'm Canadian, however I am interested in renting a vehicle at Livorno port for a tour of San Giminagno and potentially Volterra - although I'm open to suggestions for another interesting hilltop town to see but have already been to Siena and Lucca. Our stop in Livorno is October 6th aboard the Enchanted Princess. From what I've read there are two of the larger rental firms at the port (Hertz and Avis) but their prices are quite a bit higher than some of the other rental agencies that I don't know much about (Drivalia, SurPrice, Autovia, Noleggiare, rentalcars.com, etc.). The reviews that I have started to read about Drivalia and SurPrice are brutal. Has anyone any tips on which agency to rent from? Any positive experience with any of the lesser know agencies at that port? I'm leaning to stick to Hertz or Avis but concerned with the pricing (currently seeing best for a small car at $210cdn). I'm also concerned with the logistics of getting to the car rental agency as I under the port is quite large and not really walkable. Thanks for any tips! Kerby
