hi jack,
if your calling your friend could you ask him if there are taxies that are van type,if remember correctly we took a station wagon type last yr, well have 2 suitcases, 2 carry ons, wheelchair & a light weight scooter which can be stored in a trunk but is approx 40 inches long.we're traveling with another couple, last yr from p.roma we had to take 2 taxies to the ship & didn't have the scooter!
thanks
karen
