> Ok here is my story about how I got lost driving in my own city.

>

> As most of you know I have only recently learned how to drive (

have had my license for about 2 weeks now)

> Well my cousin was getting married , and mom wanted to go to the

wedding but didnt want to go by herself ( dad is a stick in mud and

wouldnt go ) sooooo I decided heck I can drive I'll take you.

> Mind you now. I have lived in Grand Rapids ALL of my life , and

am very familar with the Northeast and Northwest side of town, but

not familar with Southeast or Southwest.

> Of course the Church had to be on the Southwest side of town,

right?

> Well here we are driving down the highway ( oh yeah did I mention

I cant stand driving on highway?) anyhow , I asked mom to read the

directions to see what exit we get off of, when she quickly informs

me she cant read them . I should have known then we were gonna be in

trouble, so I turn off at what I hope is the exit ( it was ) and got

the directions and now I am trying to read them and drive ( easier

said than done if you dont drive alot lol)

> FINALLY we make it to the church , (wonderful gorgeous ceremony

with over 300 people there) we leave there and head for the Country

Club ( heck I dont even know what side of town it was on ) but we

arrived there ok,

> We decided to leave about 9pm , well we had directions on how to

get to the church and to the club, but no directions on how to get

home, and it was DARK out by now.

> I called Joe , and he said just get out on Lake Dr same way you

came from and follow it out, WELL I did.

> I am driving along and its DARK DARK DARK , I have no idea where

the heck I am , but I have this sinking feeling in pit of stomach

that I am going the wrong way. I see side streets passing me 40th ,

50th etc , this is NOT right , so I pulled into parking lot and

called Joe , I tell him I think I am seriously lost, and told him we

had just passed a University , he said , thats right , it should have

been on your moms side, told him I just saw the signs not the

building but ok , so we get back on road and continue our way, at

this point the streets are continueing to get higher in numbers (

this just IS NOT right ) when I get to 76th street Joe calls me ,

mind you I am NOT an experienced driver , so here I am LOST as all

get out , its completely dark ( no street lights way out here ) and

trying to answer the cell, finally get it , and my dear darling

husband says , umm hun I think you ARE going the wrong way!!!!!!!

> GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

> I TOLD HIM!!!!

> so finally get turned around going the RIGHT WAY , about 20min

later mom said hey there's the country club ( that we just left ) yes

mom I know , you see apparently when we left the club we should have

turned left and NOT right as Joe had said .

Deb,

Just make sure it's in daylight next time, don't wait till after dark to get

lost. That's scary! And yes, maps are good, especially maps with driving

directions from the Internet, tell you how may tenths of a mile to go before you

turn on what streets.
