===== Car Rental =====

Probably won't need a car the first week (I won't), but maybe the parent's would like one.  I'll be at the conference all week, and essentially hotel bound.

  * The cost of a minivan which will seat all of us is around $1200.
  * Two smaller cars would cost the same and give us more room and flexibility.

==== Geneva ====

Optionally, we might want to stay the last night in Geneva, so that we are fresher for long the trip home.  This one is near the top of the list for Geneva on trip advisor.
