Re: From Gail and Dad re: our plane flight reservations (fwd)

[robert <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert>]

Gail should either keep track of how long the drive from the Santa Rosa
airport is to Healdsburg or use online maps in order to know the timing
for returning the rental car.  (Actually, keeping timing of each step
along the way to Healdsburg would be worthwhile since that could be used
as a template for the return trip.)

In any case, I'll make a note of it on my calendar.
