But did you get lost????? 
Let me put it this way. We have NEVER taken a road trip without getting lost. NEVER.
We once got lost in Torrington, trying to find our way out of the hotel parking lot. It looked EXACTLY like the driveway we had entered, but we somehow ended up on a dead end street. So, we went back, did a couple loops around the parking lot and I said, "That's the one. Take that street." Same dead end street. After doing this several times, and being sure each time that we had taken the right street, and ending up on the same dead end street each time, we started laughing so hard that we had to pull over. We laughed for at least 10 minutes straight. Then we decided to do it again and we were going to get it right this time, damn it. We headed back to the hotel, still laughing hysterically. I said something like, "Oh sheesh. I hope we don't run into Jenney. This is REALLY embarrassing!" We pulled into the hotel parking lot, and who was standing out in the middle, watching our every move? Yup. Jenney. We pulled up next to her. I tried to keep a straight face, but it just didn't work. Val and I started another fit of laughter and Jenney curiously looked on. She said, "What are you two up to?" We managed to get a few words out between laughing and gasping for air. "We can't seem to find our way out of the parking lot." I laughed so much that day my sides hurt.
Then there was the time we couldn't find our way back to our room at the Delta Chelsea, after attending one of Char's room parties. Well actually, I think Val knew where she was going. At that point, I'm not sure I knew which country I was in. Then there was the fiasco with the alarm clock. Damned Canadian clocks just don't work like ours here in the USA!
Some of my fondest memories of tramping around the country and going to GL concerts were the road trips Val and I took. We ALWAYS got lost and we always had a story to tell.
