Directions

Well my stupid mother wasted a stamp to mail me an internet map from my sister's computer (whom I visit every week) to my niece's dance recital that I could have just as easily gotten off my own internet connected computer. I email this to my other sister. Then I email asking the name of the theater so I enter the correct building. She answers back that the dance recital has changed theaters so toss the map mother mailed me. My sister also says she does not know where the new location is so she can't give me any directions to it. I would like to know how my sister plans on escorting her daughter to her dance recital if she does not know where it is. So on my own I get on mapquest for directions.

I have experience with mapquest directions from customers renting cars. Some customers cling to their mapquest printouts as if their lives depend on them. Others hand them to me to double check accuracy. Often, I can give better directions. Sometimes I get confused reading them, like a street or highway number I never heard of and can't find on an atlas. Plus, sometimes a street or exit is closed that is in the directions. We have 3 types of directions to give cutomers. One is the quickest way (least amount of traffic lights and higher speed limits). Two is the easiest way (least amount of turning). Three is the easiest and quickest way (most direct to the freeway or a highway). Most often we measure distance in minutes, not miles. That means we usually don't have the shortest way.

So on mapquest I figure out how to get to the recital and to my sister's house afterwards. I only printed the directions to the recital. I didn't like the way they sent me to my sister's house from the recital so I printed maps to show the way. As I tell my mother, I can read a map. Post later. Bye!
