We got back to RDU around 9 p.m. and returned our rental car to Hertz. As Brian mentioned last night, Hertz is absolutely awesome! They waived the mileage charge for us and only charged the daily rate! (Of course, they did the same thing for my parents' car.) So, even though, we drove the car an extra 959 miles we only paid $139. When we arrived in Raleigh, we actually got a receipt without the mileage waived and it was about $450. A considerable difference! Hertz really treated us wonderfully and we'll probably always use them forever now...
We were also treated really well by the Best Western Suites in Baton Rouge, which is where we stayed Friday night and were planning to stay Saturday night. We decided to flee Baton Rouge between 2-3 p.m. on Saturday. Once we decided to leave, my dad called the front desk to let them know so that they could rebook to rooms to evacuees. Even though we were still in the rooms at 3 p.m. (taking the fastest showers known to man) the hotel didn't charge my parents for the two rooms Saturday night. Really, really classy on the hotel's part.
Now, if US Airways will refund my dad the frequent flyer points for our return flights, everything would be really wonderful!
BTW, thanks to Brian for updating our location on the blog last night. I was absolutely exhausted and fast asleep by the time we arrived in Birmingham.
