Directions

I love my GPS! I have so much more confidence when I drive just having that little voice tell me which way to go even if I'm just going to a place I've been to many times, like my hair stylist! But relying on it completely without having any idea which direction we should be heading proved to be a bad mistake on our part. For some reason our GPS has a problem with Houston, Texas! It would continually blurt out names of streets that we couldn't find. Anyway, I have a dearly beloved Aunt who lives in Houston and we knew we couldn't go home without visiting her. We found a Sam's Club about 2 miles from her home and parked the RV and tow car there. We decided to walk since my bike had a flat tire and after all it was only 2 miles. We punched the address into our trusty GPS and headed out in the 86 degree high humidity midday heat. As we followed the instructions we found ourselves on roads with no sidewalks and lots of traffic. We huddled on the grass strips and miserably made our way completely at the mercy of our GPS. We sensed we were walking in a really round about way but had no idea which direction we were actually supposed to be going. After 45 minutes we finally reached our destination and stood before my Aunt sopping wet! She graciously invited us into her home anway where we enjoyed the coolness of the air conditioning and some cold water. We had a wonderful visit and she rewarded us with her famous chocolate cake AND she asked her kind neighbor to give us a ride back to Sam's Club! So next time we are in a similar situation I think we will do a little more research for ourselves before putting our complete trust in Miss Garmin!
