[Travelandtourism] Reduced Fleets: Rental Cars vs. Airplanes

[cheryl echevarria]

since no one responds to us on here Maurice.

That is awesome.

I have been posting since people came back from Convention with no answers 
to my questions.  I wonder if the division is still active or not.

I am thinking not, since there are never posting from any of board members, 
and the only ones posting are you, Wendy or myself,

Oh by the Wendy Awesome, only caught a few minutes last night be awesome.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
