That's a family catchphrase to this day. Sense of direction - unfortunately you either have it or you don't.<br /><br />@Pat - I know! The GPS often take you the most difficult way or tell you there's nothing there when you dang well know there is! One thing I do like is being able to change the language.

And I probably know at least three different ways to get where I need to go. <br /><br />Gee, does this mean I can take Hubby's back? Kids bought him one for his birthday as joke. We got the GPS lost in Pennisula Park. The park doesn't exist on GPS maps and you take a private road to get there. I thought that was fun. I knew where I was and how to get home, to bad the GPS didn't.

Correction, I don't do it in day to day life. On vacation, I'm more than happy to let someone else drive - provided they know what they're doing. And if they don't, be sure I'll tell them.<br /><br />In real life, I'm much too much a control freak to allow anyone else to drive my car while I'm in it. Drives me crazy. Even on the rare occasions when I'm a passenger, I have to control myself from directing the driver where to go & what to do. My poor friends<br /><br />@Rosemary - it's all about the journey, right? So long as you arrive sometime!

I totally agree. When I went to Ireland, I got a road map, rented a car and drove. No plan, no hotel rez, just coke, hobnobs and a full tank. Time after time I found special adventures because I met this person here or got that suggestion there. Loved it. Still have the map. I want to mark out my trip and frame it - one day.Kierstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298688570648076964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030992385782227658.post-34422278536660995002011-04-21T09:45:19.419-04:002011-04-21T09:45:19.419-04:00I still use maps.
