Default Only lost twice

Well we made it 24 hours in the villages and we only got lost twice. We are renting Dec through the end of Feb. so maybe we will stop getting lost before we leave.
My husband is great but Hawaiians are famous for having a bad sense of direction and I am not a lot better. At least there isn't that much traffic yet.
Next goal to find our way via golf cart.
By the way I am learning a new craft Kumihimo beaded braiding if anyone has done it or wants to try with me give me a PM.

Getting lost is a TV tradition. I'm not sure and I certainly won't swear to it, but I think the developer planned TV so that folks would keep driving in circles (and I'm not talking about the roundabouts). There's nothing like driving and discovering that a street loops around itself. rofl

The nice part about getting lost in a golf cart is all the folks that will help you -- just pull over, pull out a map and look at it with a confused look on your face. Works like a charm!

Have fun!!!!!

Yes I found that stopping in your golf cart generates helpful assistance.......and it's much appreciated.

I also found the golf cart signage helpful.........e.g. Following the Buena Vista Recreation Trail signs helps me navigate my north south travel through The Villages.

Only twice? That's pretty good.

On my way to buy the map at streetrods. As I have made my way to Bank of America and Crispers and Walgreens, I should be able to find it.
Thanks all,
Trudy and Larry

Default When we first came

We got lost 73 times in the first week and that doesn't count the golf cart paths. My husband claims it has nothing to do with him not listening...HMMM.
