Ever gotten on the wrong train/subway/bus?

7. Not me but this was funny

Years ago, when my son was in Cub Scouts, I was the Cubmaster and we were teaching a unit on maps and navigation. One of the Den Mothers offered to teach compass use and she gave a great lesson and the kids had fun hiking through a forest.

A couple of months later, she and her son drove to western Pennsylvania to visit family. She told me they were driving back to Long Island and they would be back in time for an event we had planned. Several hours later, she called to say they wouldn't make it back in time because when she got on the highway, she drove west (instead of east) for a couple of hours before she realized her mistake!

We're still friends and she's still embarrassed by this incident!
