2. yeah, the photos are great
but I actually need the driving directions unfortunately. My husband and I are very, um, directionally challenged. We always get lost, even though I have been doing this exact same trip for twenty years.

The last time, we got lost, and a 3.5 hour trip took us 5 hours. LOL.

3. Do you have a laptop?
Get a GIS unit for it. It know where you are. You tell it where you want to go. It will map out the route and direct you at each twist and turn to your destination.

4. na, no laptop
I just got directions from yahoo, I didn't know they had that feature. Their directions are up to date, they are different than mapquests directions. Last time I followed map quest, there were many roads that didn't exist anymore due to construction of new exits.

I hope this works, I hate getting lost. We are leaving after work tonight, so I hope to get down there before it gets dark.

Thanks everyone!
