collage: captain, there is something wrong with this map

Whenever Roger and I travel, I usually am, by default, the "map" person. Whether it be on a road trip in the US, or getting around winding back streets in Saigon... for some reason the map and I seem to get along a wee bit better. And yes, I guess I am a bit old school... I love paper maps... but perhaps, I will eventually have to upgrade to becoming a GPS handler soon. We'll be heading on a short trip this weekend (location to be unveiled next week!)... so my next post will be the giveaway draw this Monday!

ps. don't forget to enter the giveaway to win a $20 Cabin + Cub gift certificate... last day to enter is Sunday!

    I'm really bad with maps :( Fortunately my husband's iphone has been incredibly useful in this regard!

    I love maps, I study them all the time. I have two hanging above my computer. One 6 foot world map and a local area topography map. Old maps are my favorite, have started a small collection of those (need more!).

    I love the paper maps or booklets myself. I don't want a GPS ever!! Did you know that MOST women can't read a map, so feel honored that you can. Have a safe and fun trip.

    This really made me laugh! My hubby is rubbish with maps but has an amazing sense of direction - I am the complete opposite & adore maps & can spend hours looking at them! Nice piece.

    I lovelovelove maps! Which is funny, because I love getting lost too. My fav is when they've been folded so long that they have holes on the folds - which are always right where you are going!

    My wife Mary is a map genius. We just traveled to Memphis for the weekend & we took "to" & "from" directions.

    Great image by-the-way.

    I love getting lost with a map. and then finding my way with said map, but really just becoming more lost, due to misreading said map.
