HIi Maureen, glad that you enjoyed your visit. I enjoyed your story, but I
feel I should correct something.

"Gypsy" cabs are the cars that roam around unlicensed as cabs, picking up
passengers on the street and following no regulations......in other words,
illegal. The "car service" companies that you spoke of are regulated, only
pick up passengers that call them and follow all guidelines.......the last I
heard of, anyway; things do change.
