   You wouldn't think of flying a plane without navigation instruments, why   
   should a car be any different. A good GPS and maybe some good printed maps   
   would be a good idea! A GPS navigator is simply map software whose marked   
   coordinates reference GPS satellite signals to show those parts of the map   
   that match...and a printed map can do the same thing if you don't mind   
   actively navigating while trying to stay focused on the road. Or you can   
   have live navigator come along. I used to do that when I was in a touring   
   band and we always got directly to where we were going.

   Just getting there was the problem ;)

   I've cut back on the coffee myself. But I did have some today.   
      
   > No point sleeping when I'm on a trip :-)   
      
   Not if you're driving anyway ;)   
   But that wouldn't matter with me, because I simply can't sleep in a moving   
   vehicle, I can hardly sleep in one that's stopped but the engine is   
   running, and only slightly when it's stopped and the engine is off.   
      
   > I stayed up late working on a song.   
      
   That's definitely time well spent!

   That's just being safe.   
   There are actually Idiots on 'social' read Stupid sites, like Facebook,   
   Twitter, etc., who just have to tell the world exactly what they look like,   
   where they live, what they own, all with pictures to show everything, then   
   they announce whatever they're doing, including where they're going, and   
   therefore when they won't be home...and the Fools sometimes get burglarized.
