An easy ride with lots of bathroom breaks which was nice. I know it’s a slim chance, but I left my water bottle and I was wondering if there’s any way I can get it back? It was very sentimental to me. It is blue and pink. it has two colorful stickers on it too. I would pay if I can get it back

Pickup was easy. The driver did a great job of getting us to San Jose on time despite the terrible traffic.
