I had to be at Gloucester for a meeting today at 1:00. Got directions from Google Maps, they always seem to get me where I need to be without a problem. Claim that it should be a 1 hour and 5 minute ride. Just in case I might get lost I gave myself a full hour and 20 minutes extra time, figure if I was really early I could get a bite to eat.
Got to exit 44 on the Expressway a little ahead of schedule, leaving me a full hour and a half to navigate what I expected to be the final 10 minutes of my journey. I don’t know what I did after I took exit 44, but I must’ve taken every wrong turn that was possible. To make matters even worse my stupid cell phone was getting no service. So I couldn’t even call them to let them know I was lost and needed some directions.
I stopped in 2 Walgreens for directions, which at both times seemed pretty good. But still I was lost. Stopped at 3 different Wa-Wa’s. With one guy giving me what sounded like the best directions I’ve ever received. Still lost. This time I found myself 1 mile from the Walt Whitman Bridge. Was on Rt 168, Rt. 41, Rt. 55, Delsea Drive. Couldn’t find the damn place. Finally it was 2:15 and I was supposed to be at a 1:00 appointment, after 4 and a half hours of driving I finally gave up.
Somehow stumbled upon Rt. 30 and decided I better just call it a day and head back home. Did stop at a Popeye’s Chicken for lunch. Never been to one before.
