A Wizard Always Finds or Creates a Way!

I just returned from a four-day, jam-packed trip to Virginia. On the way home, we spent the night in Baltimore. Leaving Tuesday morning, we knew we had to make it home by 6pm as we had dinner reservations with friends that we really didn't want to miss. So we thought leaving by 10:30 would give us plenty of time. (It's a 6-hour trip)

Well besides the inevitable construction delays that always slow us down, we got lost coming out of Baltimore. As we made many wrong turns and expressways just seemed to end without warning (since when do you have Rt. 695 South, North, East and West???), we got more and more frustrated as we felt our window of time slipping away.

We DID stop to ask for directions but that just got us turned around more. That was when I remembered that I had everything in the car to get on the Internet and look at Google Maps. Once I did that, we figured out exactly where we were and we corrected course and thankfully, got home by 6pm!

The lesson in all of this is that we were using whatever was available to us to accomplish our goal. We had 1) maps, 2) stopped to ask for directions, 3) used the Internet in the car until we got headed back in the right direction. And if I didn't have my laptop, I would have phoned a friend who could have accessed the Internet for us.
