My father did most of the driving their entire married life, much like I've done since the day I got my license. ~grin~ Be well!Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-85569166784432434432018-06-14T08:20:41.055-04:002018-06-14T08:20:41.055-04:00We can update.

It's been so long now I don't know which of us was driving, but SO and I headed the wrong direction after trading off drivings on our way to a vacation destination in the middle of the night. We must have added two hours to a twelve hour trip.

Glad you made it. Nice the golf cart guy rounded up lost concert exiters too.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-43946289140045245182018-06-13T20:31:24.251-04:002018-06-13T20:31:24.251-04:00My Mom and I have gotten lost a lot over the years...My Mom and I have gotten lost a lot over the years. I bought her a GPS years ago at Macy's and it is quite defective.

If I'm in an area I know even if I'm not in the specific spots I know well, I can always find my way out again. And when I'm where I don't know, I follow the maps.

I think both my parents have it.)Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-11026888835071851332018-06-13T13:44:20.437-04:002018-06-13T13:44:20.437-04:00Not for hours, but when I'm lost it feels like...Not for hours, but when I'm lost it feels like hours! My GPS isn't updated either, and has taken me weird places. It was supposed to be going to a Motel 6 once and said we had "arrived" in a sketchy residential area! I requested a GPS when renting a car in Puerto Rico, but it didn't have one. The flight got in at midnight, so it was a bit frightening trying to find our apartment, let alone the town in the dark without one, with the rental employees speaking Spanish! Thank goodness for the Internet research beforehand, I like to see what things look like. So, I recognized some landmarks. I did drive up a one-way street the wrong way, but it was deserted so that was okay! I just headed downhill, figuring I'd hit the beach eventually. I am proud of myself though, that is the bravest thing I've ever done... not the driving, but that is certainly part of it, I mean the entire trip. I hate trying to find my car in a large lot, I always lose it! I hit the lock button a lot to let me know how "off" I am. <br />Did you have a nice lunch at least?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592568959570035100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-81345571255906738112018-06-13T12:28:57.827-04:002018-06-13T12:28:57.827-04:00That is very true, though we tend to get frustrate...That is very true, though we tend to get frustrated with each *other*. ~shakes head.
