Never Go To A Showing Alone !!

That is the case if you are directionally challenged like I am ! Belinda is the master navigator for our team and has a good sense of direction. Me.. Not so much. So.. yesterday I went alone on a showing ( my first mistake) and the showing was in an area that has 100's of dirt roads and major mountains all around. No big deal, I'm a guy I can handle this right? WRONG. I take off, map in hand and away I go. I start following the map, street by street, onto the dirt roads,still good, make a wrong turn, then another, then a tee in the road, I go left, maybe should have gone right, who knows at this point. Now I'm late for the appointment where I was meeting my buyer, I have no idea where I'm at, no street signs, on some dirt road out in the middle of no where. I call Belinda when I finally get to cell coverage and say... Honey I'm totally lost, have no idea where I am at. After a LONG.. o.k. I tell her to call the client and say sorry he won't make it. Then she tells me to just go back the way I came, OMG, I can't because I made about 7 turns and have no idea where I am. All I can see is mountains everywhere, wild horses and that's it. I'm 2 hours from dark so I tell her, no problem I'll figure it out. After 2 hours taking every dirt road and traveling 30-50 miles I end up over a mountain pass in a totally different town. Thank goodness for my Subaru SUV or I would not have made it through that terrain for sure. My number one lesson... Never, I mean Never go on a showing appointment without my wife ( The Boss), EVER AGAIN !!
