I get lost, allot. My family teases me that I don’t actually get lost, but instead I take the scenic route. I agree with that. Somehow I always make it home and we always have a story to tell about what happened, what we saw, who we met, what we found…maybe that is why I love to travel so much. I actually like to get lost. I have had the most amazing adventures in my life from getting lost. I don’t do this on purpose, really I don’t. I don’t have GPS inside of my brain and I do not have a natural sense of direction. Try as I may I don’t even know which way east, west, north or south is unless I can look at the sun – that is my only help.
I got this trait from my mother, she had this same infliction. She was a wise woman and said don’t worry ‘All roads lead to home’. She was right, they do.
I read in the USA Today on line that airlines are going to be getting GPS as well to conserve fuel. Does that mean that they have been getting lost as well and using up extra fuel and passing the cost off on to their travelers? Do pilots still fly by charting the stars? Well it is good that I am not the only person who may need GPS, and I hope that this does help the airlines with their needs. I know many of us rely on the airlines to get us home for special events like weddings, births or get us to business meetings and of course to our vacations. So let them get you there the best way they can and save some money while they do it.
But if you get a chance, if you have GPS turn it off and go ahead and get lost. You’ll be amazed at all you’ll see and do when you are not using your own personal GPS.
