JeanieS: I could get lost in a paper bag. Worse - I have to be **on time** if
not 15 minutes early 
for dinner dates. I have been known to wander and
wander and not be able to find the “quaint little bistro behind the
fourth maple tree on the right, next to the little bead shop” and when
it approached the witching hour of 6:30, I gave up and went home. I
will NOT be late. Once I drove to my parents house in Yachats, Oregon and took the
wrong exit and ended up lost (I told my parents I was touring) in
Albany. Albany is about as big as from here to that wall over there.
Question: Do you get lost easily when you’re traveling?

I am traveling to La next weekend to bring a car back. I may get lost many times, though I hope to make it back.

Nope! Even when I am lost, I find my way.

I get lost so easily that if I go around three
corners of a square city block it’s all over.
Fortunately, I’m married to absolutely the
world’s best natural born navigator. She’s
so good that when we went back to a
city in Germany she lived in as a teenager
20 years previously we didn’t even have
to use the road maps…..
