I can walk into any place on this planet and say, "I need someone to tell me where to go" and I get all kinds of help. Now the problem is getting direction that make sense. Yes I look for landmarks. If I am following directions and the landmark is where its suppose to be I feel reassured. If you are traveling through small towns its easy but if you are going through big cities with four or six lane roads all of them going in different direction and stacked up like Lincoln logs, that is a total different story. It’s one of those deals where you can see where you want to go, you just can’t get there from here. I think we circled Baltimore for a good 2 hours once before we could get off the freeway. If someone had said get in the far left lane as soon as you go under the overpass and watch for the sign for Dunkin Donuts and make a sharp left and as soon as you past Dunkin Donuts jump into the right lane and make the next right. ( on the map it says its less than a .01 mile.) I could have saved two hours and definitely arrived in a better mood. You can’t get off at the next exit and get back on the other side and end up where you started from. It’s just not that easy. You need to know exactly where you are going. Lord help you if you slow down because Big Daddy behind you is going to lay on the horn and push you. You are going somewhere! Not necessarily where you want to go but you are definitely going somewhere and fast! I usually ask for directions. My husband moves the car around the corner so no one will know we had to ask for directions. I think he would prefer someone think he’s driving the getaway car in a hold up then to think we had to ask for help. I also ask the person giving direction to write then down and ask what landmarks are on the way. When I ask for directions I am usually already tired, hunger or need to go to the bathroom or all three. I want to get there as soon as possible. I want the facts please, nothing but the facts. |
