Rental Car in Oklahoma City

In the heart of the Midwest there's a lone state by the name of Oklahoma. Nestled in that huge state is a city by the name of Oklahoma City, this is where I went for my Basic Combat Training for the U.S Army. After my training was complete in the brisk 9 weeks that it encompassed I went to the local Budget Rent-A-Car and rented myself a luxurious Audi A4 2.0T, one of the finest production vehicles you can find for rent. It runs at a hefty 225 horsepower distributed to the wonderful All Wheel Drive system that Audi calls (Quattro). Oklahoma is the perfect place to put this Audi to test and push it to its' limits. After I picked up my A4 from the local city of Lawton I was off to the windy roads that Oklahoma had to offer. My Audi got wonderful gas mileage at 30 miles a gallon due to the efficient 2 liter turbo engine running at a high compression ratio, making the engine the number 1 engine in the world for 3 years straight and in the top 10 engines for the past 10 years, all these factors influenced my decision to rent this fine machine.

Starting off in Lawton I made my way East to Shawnee, a small Indian inspired town full of culture and small shops that offered unique gifts and souvenirs. I bought a cool tomahawk to take with me in my Black Audi for "protection", these roads are dangerous after all. I met an Indian Chief there by the name of Chief Smakee-how, he was very nice and offered me to go gambling in his casino he has there, but I wasn't there for gambling only to enjoy the open roads in my German machine. I just wanted to blow off some steam from the stressful Army Training Environment. After I left Shawnee I headed North East to Tulsa, this is a very diverse city flourished with character in every corner. Many people were lounging on their front porches drinking sweet tea, but I just blew past in my beautiful Audi. I found many new things in Tulsa that I have never seen before such as "dream catchers" and "peace pipes", they tried to sell me some, but I had my tomahawk already so I didn't feel the need to purchase more souvenirs just yet. I enjoyed the stop at traffic lights there in Tulsa, because it let me floor my 6-speed manual transmission Audi from 0 to to 60 miles per hour in just short of 5 seconds over and over again. Which is a very impressive feat for a 4 dour 2.0 liter sedan, but that's an Audi for yah.

I continued to speed out of Tulsa at a safe rate, however. Every mile I travel makes me happier that I went with Budget for my rental car. I found my self in a Claremore, Oklahoma next. This was a slow pace town that had some very friendly folks in it. I stopped and ate at a local restaurant they people called "Pop's Diner". There I had some good T-bones with potatoes and gravy. I sat window side in attempt to keep an eye on my beautiful Audi, I didn't want somebody to scratch it or ding it up. I enjoyed my food with a tall glass of milk (2%) of course. I left the waitress with a hefty tip and then proceeded on my way through Claremore and found that they have some fantastic gas stations there offering 98 octane petrol for my car, this is very hard to find in more rural areas, so I was very surprised to find this phenomenon. I filled up my 10 gallon tank and then left the city of Claremore. I then headed far south to Muskogee to experience a little more of Indian hospitality.

I find myself traveling all over the state of Oklahoma and finding little civilization everywhere I drive, it is a very rural state with much cattle being grazed and breed throughout the state - it's a bit of a culture shock to me since I am a natural city boy. The roads in Oklahoma are nice and smooth allowing me to drive my Audi to it's full potential. There are few other cars you see on the road so you can really relax while you drive knowing that you won't be side swiped by a fool who cannot drive.

There are nice rolling hills to view as well as mountainous landscapes so the view is very easy on the eyes. I decided to then just stroll on back to Lawton and return my rental car, but in doing so I enjoyed the nice state of Oklahoma. The whole rental car experience was very great, I hope to rent again from Budget, they were very friendly and very reasonably priced as well.

A Trip to the Nations Capitol!

The fourth of July is the nations most patriotic holiday by far. Americans all over the states celebrate clad in red, white, and blue come together as a whole nation to become one. I was lucky enough to be able to plan my trip to Washington DC for this patriotic holiday. I flew out of Orlando International Airport in the morning on the 1st so my day wasn't completely wasted on travel alone. When i arrived at Washington Dulles Airport I picked up bags at baggage claim that was surprisingly quick then headed straight for the Alamo Rental Car pick-up station. Let me tell you a convertible in DC in July is the best investment I have ever made. It was so hot reaching triple digit heat on two occasions, the breeze in my hair with the top down was enough to compensate for it all. It turns out that after my morning flight I was still tired too tired from my trip so I just relaxed in my room and planned out my next day of sight seeing.

The next morning I woke up bright and early ate a nice breakfast and then left to commence the day that I planned the night before. I decided that I would head to a couple of museums the first day then some of the monuments the second day and on the fourth i would head over to the park near the Washington Monument for the parade and fair then watch the fireworks come up behind the White House and see them in the background of the Washington Monument.

So I headed out in my wisely chosen convertible with the top down of course and headed off to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Let me tell you this is my favorite museum ive ever been to, because I am a fan of history and I love to see what walked the earth before civilization. The museum was great best exhibits that I have ever seen in any museum, they were both very well crafted as well as informative and like any museum your gonna learn and I learned my fair share. If you take your time you can make any of the museums in DC last half a day easy so after the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. This has the coolest exhibits in it all the aircraft and space craft in it really make the museum worth while. Its amazing to see how far that aircraft have come and technology since the first flight in Kitty Hawk. After that i picked up a nice dinner then drove back to the hotel, with the top down of course for a good nights rest for the next day of sight seeing i had planned.

The next day I woke up early again I guess its hard to sleep with so much history to see. I ate the same continental breakfast as the day before went to the rental car dropped the top and then hit the road to Virginia to the original presidential mansion at George Washington's estate. The sight seeing was incredible, it was amazing how well the house and manor was maintained. I took a tour of the mansion and it was like being transported back in time, everything looked and felt so real like was actually living in that much simpler time. I walked the estate further and viewed the final resting place of our first president and his wife. I walked the trails and even seen the stables. As amazing as the place was I had to leave so I could see more that I had planned. I then went to the Arlington National Cemetery to view a guard changing ceremony that was like everything else in my day incredible. After the ceremony I headed over to the Eternal Flame to commemorate the assassination of John F. Kennedy, honestly I don't cry for much but seeing that flame and what it stood for as well as the tomb it brought a tear to my eye and made me proud to be an American, as cliche as it sounds its the truth. I then like pretty much everybody does visited the Lincoln Monument the huge over sized monument of the man that never lied. After my long day and no lunch i was famished so I had a nice meal and went once again to my hotel room to relax for the evening.

My final day in DC i woke up a little bit later but still caught breakfast at the hotel and relaxed for a little bit longer in my room before I headed out for the scorching sun at Presidental Park underneith the Washington Monument. When i finally made my way to the park it was mid-afternoon and I walked around the booths they had till night fall and then the main event began. The fireworks were absolutly incredible the best firework display I have ever seen in my life once again DC brought another tear to my eye and gave me that proud American feeling. I loved it! I was sad i had to leave but I had to get back home to my normal life. The rental car return was quick and effortless, yet the airport was a hassle being a holiday and in the nations capitol but who could balme them. I will never forget anything adout DC partially because of all the pictures I had, all in all I loved my trip and the ease of travel made everything so much better.
