Drove myself to Denver today. See this map? All three white lines are Quebec Street. Two of them are mono-directional. In opposite directions. The third Quebec street is the one I wanted. And see E 40th Ave.? It is also called Sandown Street. This is good info--too late.
My GPS tried to help. Arriving at destination? Sure, if I wanted to park on the un-named yellow on ramp to I-70 E and jump a chain link fence with my suitcase. Recalculating? I think so.
A trucker tried to help by beeping his horn at me. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) I don't understand city horn honking. Believe me, if I knew where to go and what to do, I would have already been doing it.
A young woman thought it might be helpful to express her displeasure at my merging skills. I hope her gesture made her feel better. It wasn't particularly encouraging to me.
When I finally arrived at my hotel, (after circling it twice and a short unplanned drive on I-70 E) they let me park wherever I wanted. (Which I did like a champ!) They processed my reservation without any problem. And they offered me a warm chocolate chip cookie. The beautiful young woman at the desk asked me how many cookies I needed.
One. I just needed one. Dozen.
So looking forward to the shuttle which will take me to class tomorrow am.

I miss you already. Wish I were there but not driving with you! I'm proud of you all the time.
