Update
I've always considered myself as the human compass. My navigation skills are exceptional. I pride myself in finding my way in and out of a totally unfamiliar territory. And I'm not afraid to pull over and ask for directions when lost. That's why when we bought the new car, Navigation system was out of the question. I mean, what am I, S-t-u-p-i-d??? I can find my way around, yah know.... I don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for something I don't need.
But, this is our last summer here in Germany and we plan on taking little trips here and there. And if you want to hear hubby & I argue, just sit with us in a car. Truth is, I feel sorry for the guy. I'm such a control freak and I just can't keep my mouth shut when he's on the wheel. I'm probably the worst backseat driver in the whole entire world. So we did ourselves a favor and bought this new toy . It's nice, I tell you. Best part is, it came with US/North America disc as well.
We'll be in Ramstein Air Force base tomorrow for Alexis' European Spelling Bee competition. By the way, I found out she'll be competing against 8th graders from all of Europe as well. Geez, it'll be like David & Goliath. Imagine a 4th grader, 9 yr old girl going against a bunch of teenage middle schoolers. I haven't told her yet because I didn't want to alarm her. Next week, we're headed to Tropical Islands near Berlin. Easter break will be spent touring Trier, Luxemburg, and Brussels. Ahhh, there's just so many things to do but very little time left.

yay! ako una!!!! hahahaha
anyways...
i've been your passenger once. but like you said before...your fingernails were digging into your seat trying to control your control freak self. hehe. plus, it wasn't a long drive...i guess that's why i didn't really hear much bickering from you two (or did i fall asleep sometime in between leaving the parking lot and getting to our destination??) lolz
is that toy really nice, for real? J hates asking for directions too. and even though he knows i can barely speak deutsch, he normally sends me asking anyone (ONCE he comes to his senses and starts believing it's REALLY time to stop and start asking) it'd be a nice thing to have. especially if it does come with CD for both Europe and US.
yeah, you'll like Lux...esp if you're into History. (though i really can't picture you as such hehe) i heard brussels is nice too. so is trier. enjoy!!!
*****************
To Alexis...YAY!!!! YOU CAN DO IT, LEXI! SHOW THEM WHAT YOU GOT!
des: siguro tulog ka hahaha. Hindi ko talaga mapigilan ang hindi kontrolin yung pag-drive nya. He doesn't bicker, ako lang hehe. Sinasabi nya lang sa akin, mas lalo siyang nalilito kapag nagbubunganga ako..lol Kaya nga minsan, para tahimik ang aming byahe eh ako na lang ang nagda-drive hehe.
Maganda yung navigon...very easy to use. nakakaaliw syang paglaruan. Magaganda ang features nya, nakakabilib nga dahil hi-tech talaga, pati speed limits alam nya. You should get one dahil magagamit natin pati sa US.
i'm checking on gps too, waiting for some sale on the net hehe. it's not an option on our new car, kasi naman 2 cars namin, mas easy pag mobile sya di ba.
hey, going places talaga ang Lexi mo ha, goodluck!!
Good luck to Alexis!
im the worst backseat driver too, but i found a solution to that, tinutulugan ko nalang para walang away. kung maligaw, aba e magtanong =)
analyse: I highly recommend the Navigon TS7000T. Nag-long drive kami this weekend and talaga namang very reliable sya. And dahil nga portable, madaling ilipat-lipat sa 2 cars.
Alexis didn't win the European Championship, but she did really well. She was one of the youngest contestants. 'twas a very memorable experience for all of us.
girlie: naku, sa tindi ng pagka-control freak ko, kahit antok na antok na ako eh nilalabanan ko. Gusto ko kasi eh bawat liko, bawat preno, bawat galaw nya eh nakikita ko....hahahaha
Baligtad naman on my case, palpak akong navigator. Hindi ko kasi alam i-differentiate yung north sa south, east & west. Pag sinabing north, after ilang kilometro, feeling ko eh nasa north pa rin ako ahaha! Tapos pag napuntahan ko na the place one time, hindi ko pa rin sya alam puntahan the next time. Tipong kelangan 5 more times na punta pa bago ko ma gets the lugar. And take note, mega surf ko pa yun dapat sa mapquest ahaha!
at ang sweet Lexi.. mana talaga kay tita Naomi nya.. ahihi.
hahaha dito wala akong kotse kaya taxi driver ang biktima ko.
speaking of navis, ouch! am guilty for being 'S' hehe, my navigation skills are usable on the moon! walang liko-liko :)
Nao: hindi nga ba't "pagkahaba-haba man daw prusisyon, sa simabahan din ang tuloy"? So kahit ilang paikot-ikot ka eh pasasaan ba't matatagpuan mo din ang patutunguhan. My trick is, kung ano ang binagtas kong daan papunta ay siya ko namang binabagtas ng pabaligtad kapag pauwi na ako...kapag naligaw naman eh baligtarin na lang ang damit at baka napaglaruan ng kapre :-)
Chas: yes, it's really nice. Well worth the money. Lexi didn't win, but we're very proud of her. She did well!
Justice: kumare, pinapagalitan mo ang mga taxi drivers? lol. I remember you once told me na hirap ka driving without the navigation system...di ba nga yung SUV mo dati ay may Navi?
kumare, i try to be silent as MUCH as i can..pero pag medyo daredevil na ang dating at lalo't kasama ko mga anak ko---i have to say something (susmio, mala-lata sa nipis ang kaha ng kotseng hapon---wala akong planong maging sardinas hehe)
yups, the SUV had a navi. bad navi skills na ako, bad memory pa bwahaha
Good luck to ALEXIS!
I am not a human compass. GPS Navigation was really made for me. Would you believe, I got lost in my own neighborhood twice?!
Neryboso ni woody, akala na-kidnap na ako. Good thing kasama si Yardley (aso namin) he kept me calm! Hahah.
Good luck to Alexis. She's plenty smart so I don't think she'll do too shabby!
Justice: very uneasy ang feeling kapag hindi tayo in control, no?
eden: thanks!
chas: i agree :-). besides, there's always "next time", di ba?
tintin: really? wow! buti na lang kasama mo si Yardley ano? next time, bring a celfone too...para hindi masyado nerbyusin si hubby :)
