Driving Tips


Photobucket
Yes, I drove. On the wrong side of the road...for a few minutes. THEN I wanted to enjoy the scenery and so we switched. This may be a good spot to share that finding things around here is a CHALLENGE. There are NO street signs...so you drive until you see a "big white pole" or until you find a corner with a pachinko parlor on one side and an Enesco on the other.....needless to say we've gotten lost quite a lot this week. Yesterday, Mike took our geocaching gps out and began marking points when we arrive, so we can find them again.
Oh - my driving tip - which my family thinks is a hoot and you may not -
Keep Your Hiney on the Liney!
If I say this over and over I tend to remember where I'm supposed to be. ::snort::
After the stressful driving experience the family unwound with a rousing game of HORSE and Around the World.

Yep, that's the driving tip we all learned, too! Japan looks good on you!

Have you driven in the rain yet? I have never driven over here, but my US friends often say they mistake the blinkers and wipers!

BTW, I LOVE to see Mike playing with the kids! Ahhhhhh! Soo wonderful!

KIM - I turned the wipers on all day today....and it was raining so it was't quite noticeable but it really was funny!

Mel - Japan simply looks GOOD - doesn't it? I already don't want to leave in 3 years. LOL

You look great behind the wheel on the wrong side. :):):)

Bet it feels good to be together and able to have family play time.

love you all SO MUCH and miss you all SO MUCH and praying all the time.

LOL! I can only imagine. I'm glad I won't have to worry about driving on the wrong side/right side in Europe.
