I am planning the driving trip. Do you have anything going on November 17 or 18? I am not sure yet about exactly when to leave. It would be nice if you could drop me at the airport to pick up a car (in this case, cheaper than the Hertz place in [the place on your way to work]). I could take the bus there, but that would be a pain. In the worst case, I guess I could take the bus there, drive home and pack the car, and then leave. (I would not want to carry everything with me.)

She asked whether you would be with me. I don't think my parents caused her to have a bad impression of you.

Picking up at the airport also benefits me because they have an area where I can choose a car (instead of just having to accept whatever they give me).
