An I know which way is Towson vs. Glen Burnie, but I get confused when the signs say something else, which they sometimes do. Our GPS is not always helpful with that.Risanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-6257833415927492392011-11-28T19:28:34.309+02:002011-11-28T19:28:34.309+02:00I love my GPS.

When it doesn't tell me to turn around, because it prefers to Route 1 to the 443. Otherwise, it's perfect.Bailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115498582378133552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-5419228806346400232011-11-28T15:29:35.379+02:002011-11-28T15:29:35.379+02:00Gils, you can pin your gift of misdirection on me....Gils, you can pin your gift of misdirection on me. <br /><br />After all, I'm the one who worked in the same building for 10 years and had to think, every day, about which way to get to my office when I got out of the elevator.<br /><br />Already got my Israel GPS warmin' up - I'll probably need it to get out of the airport, those exit signs are tricky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-35744185015061892882011-11-28T13:18:42.934+02:002011-11-28T13:18:42.934+02:00wow, this so reminds me of the time I tried to get...wow, this so reminds me of the time I tried to get to Modiin from Ranaana for the first time to visit my SIL one afternoon. I was a pretty confident driver so I was like "I'll just follow the signs, how hard could it be?" I was on the 6 and I saw a sign "Modiin 27 km". Great, I'll just wait for the Modiin exit! Little did I know you have to quickly get off right after the tunnel to get to 443 (little did i know because the sun blinded me right as I came out. I dithered at Daniel, thinking "oh, there will be a sign!" As we're cruising to Ashdod, I realize there is no sign, I missed the exit and there's nowhere to turn around!. Had to make a U Turn at Gedera. Made it to my Sil's at 6 for an afternoon visit. Oh well...Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-30972309747278404162011-11-28T10:20:51.369+02:002011-11-28T10:20:51.369+02:00A parking lot gps is a fantastic idea!
