Traveling for work. Now on the shakey side for a week. Decided I would bring slot stuff with me to fill my evenings, but I arrived with a full blown cold and can't hardly keep my eyes open after dinner.

WCB: I've had an Odyssey for five years. Very reliable. Heavy and solid on the ground, compared to most vans. Also have had a Toyota 4Runner, until a week ago when some drunk sideswiped the wife on her way to taking the oldest to dance class. Everyone is good, but insurance wants to write off the suv. Still runs fine, but body work is going to cost a bundle. Have always been impressed with Toyota quality and endurance. Wasn't that fussed on the Oddysey until I got the loaner, Chevy minivan. Can't remember the model name, right now, but the warning lights go on for every little thing (ex. Service Tire Pressure Monitor), it floats across the lanes like a hovercraft at highway speeds, underpowered engine screams whenever you tell it to accelerate, brakes squeal when you tell it the opposite.. etc. etc. I don't think I have ever disliked a car more than this one (except maybe a Sunfire I once got as a rental.)
I think you will find the Toyota Siena has better selection of features and creature comforts than the Honda, but I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Good to hear you're still here, HH.
