A car on time saves money

My wife was very angry with me and she had every reason to be so. We were standing on the street, just next to our hotel, for the past 30 minutes or so. It was not just the passersby who were staring at us. Even the usher of the hotel was looking at us as we hailed cab after cab… none of them even bothered to slow down. Picking us up was out of the question. I had saved enough money for the trip and things were moving according to my budget. I should have listened to my wife and should have gone in for car rentals while we were planning our trip. I never knew that it would prove to be so tough to hire a cab. If I had done so, I might well have rented a car in advance. As things are turning out, it seems we cannot go to the casino and we might well have to stay back at the hotel this evening.

My wife had every right to be angry. This was not the first evening that we were stranded at our hotel in the evening because I did not have the foresight to opt in for cheap car rentals. Thankfully, during the other days I managed to pacify her by taking her to some exquisite restaurants in the locality (no need to mention that I burned a huge hole in my pocket in the process) and also taking her to the souvenir shops that were located at close quarters. We had specifically visited Las Vegas so that we could enjoy quality time at the casino for a couple of days. I have learnt my lesson and from the next time onwards I’ll opt in for auto rental well in advance.
