It isn't bad enough that we are traveling a long way and are tired; our son set us up on a new Gps, a new ipad. The gps took us to an airport toll gate. We got into a right mess. Dallas Fort worth Airport with about 10 to 15 lanes all paying their money. We were in the wrong lane to get through and we couldn't go back. With a forty three foot motor home and a car behind we had to back up. We had to move four lanes over, not an easy task.
We finally did it, with a lot of stress because we couldn't tell what the agents we saying. I took over yelling at them through the window as they wouldn't let me out onto the road. They said we were on the road the Gps said, but it was not the way to our next place I-35 east. We were told no problem, you just have to cross this road with your motor home and go through the turn around across the street. I was sure that couldn't be right.
I asked again to be sure. They have fifteen lanes for sure and the cars were all zipping through the the booths like their plane was leaving in five minutes. Elder Teasdale said, " I am going through watch out for me. What the heck watch out for what, the color of the first car to hit us. I wanted to close my eyes and pray, but we drove through. I can't believe we were not hit; it was like running the gauntlet We thought we were alright when we crossed, but the way out was too small. A guy came and moved some of the barriers. It was still a close call as there was a big hole in the road. I don't know how we managed, it was crazy. Our Gps has set us wrong twice, now I am nervous, they keep changing the roads.
Technology problem number two. We wanted to take a picture of our super dirty car behind us covered in salt and mud. That seems like an easy thing, No! First I showed Mick how to used the camera. He went to the back of the coach came back grumbling that the stupid thing wouldn't work. and put it on my lap. I held it there while I was eating a sub sandwich. When I finished I went to take the picture. I decided to start again. It worked great! I was happy, went back to the coach and emailed the picture out to Paul so he could see the mess the car was in. After I did that I played the slide show that came up. What a horrid slide show it was. It was me rushing, eating my sub with an ipad on my knee filming my every gobble. Never leave my husband alone with an ipad camera on you never know what will happen to it. I never knew it was so ugly looking up someones nose while they ate a big sloppy sub. It amazed me how often I got the lettuces stuck in my teeth. even my nose wiggled as I ate. I did get the biggest laugh out of it. Needless to say I was very happy that an ipad has a delete button. I wasn't going to let dear Elder Teasdale get a laugh too after he did that to me. Not that he knows what he is doing anyway.
We are going to the Dallas Temple tomorrow to try to get our head back on. We only have about 700 miles or a little less to go. Pray we do not have any more technology problems
