EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN TEXAS!

I made it! Safe and sound, and in The Woodlands, Texas. I actually managed to make it out of Chicago before the Ice Storm hits and all flights out of O'Hare are cancelled. After an uneventful flight to Houston, TX I landed and was greeted by a balmy 76 degrees!!! What a difference from the snow and cold I left behind! The real fun started when I had to drive my rental car from Bush Airport to the hotel in The Woodlands, with the help of a highly annoying GPS System!!! I managed to miss my exit twice on the way to the hotel, and was politely reminded by the GPS that I had missed my exit and should turn around immediately... on the express way!!! When I didn't make an immediate U-turn, the GPS became rather adamant and would not shut up until I turned the car around and started moving in the right direction. I completely understand the need for assistance when it comes to directions, being completely directionally challenged myself, I totally appreciate all the gadgets we have at our disposal... Although Garmen might want to re-think the personality installed on my GPS system!!! I must have looked like a complete crazy, driving down I45 arguing with the damn GPS System in my rental car!!! LOL!!

Hi Gina - I also initially found the GPS a bit annoying (we had a Garmin originally) but I've grown used to our TomTom and 'Jane' is far more patient I think. 'Tho she doesn't shut up when I'm talking to fellow passengers which I think is downright rude! Seriously tho, I'm at the stage where I don't know what the heck I would do without a satnav system.
Lots of Love
