Husband & I returned from a short break on the south coast this morning and were returning via the Southern Highlands on the Hume Highway, its been a while since we travelled on this highway and there’s been a new motorway added to it since. Got on the motorway, was lulled into false sense of security when I saw ‘Newcastle’ and kept on going ….. and going. Oooops! there’s a tunnel ahead, had missed the last chance to get off motorway before we were swallowed into the bowels of Sydney. ‘Do you know where we are going’ said husband, ‘No’ I replied and he grew pale and cowered into his seat. Signs to other places we didn’t want to go flew past. Husband repeated his question and I replied ‘No’ again, he grew even paler. Came out of that tunnel saw daylight and the airport. Oooops! down into another tunnel, eeeek! they only take E-tags and we dont have one! Kept going, saw another sign that said Newcastle, heaved a sigh of relief, husband beyond talking. We are now on the northern side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, sigh of relief- Oh no! the approach to the Lane Cove tunnel appears, that would have taken us north west, at the last moment saw the lane that took us north and home. I thought it was hilarious, husband still recovering.

Gotta love "unscheduled routes and detours" on any trip.... it's not getting lost, it's adventuring! Least that's what I tell the wife every time I take a wrong turn

Poor your husband, he felt lost I think...

I got terrified when G tells me "I think I know a shortcut".... because I know this will take us double the time than if we drive the regular way...
So now I tell him.. "but without shortcuts, because we are in a hurry... "

Lol... I thought it was the man's job to get you lost and keep driving without stopping to ask for directions...

I have lost count the number of times I've done the very same thing...

I never get lost..And even when I do I know where I am.
