Hi everyone,

I'm arriving at San Jose airport on Tuesday the 29th at 1:00PM, and need a short ride to my family's house a short distance away.

My 87 year old dad just passed and I'm flying in from Texas to attend his funeral. None of my family members can pick me up, and I don't want to put myself at the mercy of some Uber driver with piercings and tattoos, nor do I trust foreign taxi drivers.

If anyone in the San Jose area can give me a lift to my dad's house (less than ten miles), I'll be very grateful.

I'd rent a car, but my eyesight is just barely good enough for me to drive on familiar local streets. I dare not try it in an area I'm unfamiliar with.

Thank you!

you won't have to wait long for a volunteer.

I got one in the first three replies. God bless our Freeper community!

[Windflier]

Thank you, Zuriel. Sorry to hear of your loss, as well.

[Windflier]

Thank you, Chickensoup. Much appreciated.

It’s terrible about your father, Windflier. I’m so very sorry. Good to be with family now.

[Windflier]

Thanks for the tip about Huber. I’ve got a volunteer already.

His ticket is ok, but his luggage is headed for a Caribbean beach!

Thank you, Pax. We knew it was coming, and were as ready for it as you can be for such a thing.

I’m guessing it’ll really hit me when I step into the house and he’s not there. I’ll have lots of family around me, so it’ll be ok.

[Windflier]

Thank you, Mairdie. I appreciate the kind words.

I really could do the Caribbean right about now ;-)

I am so sorry for your loss. I would jump to be your chauffeur. I’m a bit too far south to be of any aid. I am so very sorry though.

[Windflier]

Thanks, Yaelle. I know you’d be there in a heartbeat if you could. No worries. I got a volunteer.

i use uber all the time out here, in fact as recently as last half hour. was a mercedes with a well dressed young man who got out and opened the door for me.

never seen anyone with tats or piercings, don't now how you got that idea.

uber rocks in my opinion. i rarely drive into the city anymore myself.

my condolences for your dad and prayers for your family.

looks like you got a ride, but i got an hour to pick you up that day if you need.

Rent a car. That way you won’t have to rely on others.

Sorry to hear about your Pop.
I used to have family in Palo Alto but can’t help you here.

Prayers up

So sorry to hear about your dear dad.
You have all our love and prayers for your journey, Windflier.

May he Rest in Peace and all of his family know comfort and care.

Damn. LOL.

Condolences and prayers up for your Dad.

I've got vision issues that make that a bad idea.
