The GPS sent me down a dead-end road, and when I turned around, it got confused and started directing me the long way around to my destination. I eventually realized I was going the wrong way and got me and the dang GPS reset, but, that was one lousy intro to Missouri (later, in the hotel, I pulled out a map and learned the GPS was trying to send me on a *2-hour* detour). The flight back home included two connections, plus a layover in Chicago, which stretched into a 7 hour layover, thanks to snow in NY. This homebody is happy to leave all the traveling to others. ;)Karenhttp://leafandgrain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-21079458955860361202013-03-11T21:24:41.518-04:002013-03-11T21:24:41.518-04:00Ugh travelling for that long can really get to any...Ugh travelling for that long can really get to anyone my friend!<br />You deserved this cheesiness :)<br /><br />Cheers<br />Choc Chip UruChoc Chip Uru @ Go Bake Yourselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565188666150518885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-73550845260442201612013-03-11T15:49:32.183-04:002013-03-11T15:49:32.183-04:00Sounds like a long trip!
