The difference between Hannah and Kristal

The metros were closed today and Hannah had to find her way home. So, she jumps on any old bus and navigates through the city and finds her way home without a problem.

I, on the other hand, have the worst luck with this. I don't have a problem with the metro system. It seems very simple to me, but you throw in the bus and train system and that is where all of my street smarts go out the window.

I have been on a couple of buses and gotten lost with the greatest of ease, but then there is the train and that is another story...

When Chris was in Prague and I had to navigate my own way to church funny things begin to happen in my mind and I get this terrible panic where I have to get off at every stop because I think that we are going to go too far. It took us an extra hour to get home from church because I did it twice. The kids were really loving me then. Luckily, it was a fairly nice day, so no one was freezing to death. On my way to the airport to go and meet Chris I did the same thing and almost missed my flight. When I arrived in Prague and met up with Chris to go out to lunch with his work friends they thought it was quite funny. I guess Chris was walking around the office talking frantically (and very loudly I might add, can you imagine that) on the phone to me trying to work things out and they knew something terrible was wrong:)

By the time we leave here, I might actually have things figured out. Luckily, I have plenty of time to do that. As for Hannah, she will probably be able to go anywhere in the world and get to where she wants to go without a problem:)
