Driving East

There was free wifi at the ball park.  So I was messaging Barb during the game.  I told her about the GPS fiasco.  She was very upset with the terrible luck we are having with the Nissan.  She looked up the directions to my hotel.  The ball park and the hotel were on the same street.  So I thought it should be easy to find.  Barb told me the hotel was 23 minutes East of the ball park.  So in the late afternoon between games, I decided to drive to the hotel and check in.  I turned left out the ball park and headed East.  I drove for 25 minutes East and was in the middle of nowhere with no hotels anywhere in sight.  I drove a little further and stopped at a gas station and went inside to ask for directions.  The lady behind the counter had no idea which way I should go. Then a nice guy said if I could wait he would look it up on his phone back at his car.  So he looked it up and told me that it was back the other way.  I told me a way to get onto the main highway to Orlando which would be faster than just turning around.  In the end, it took me another hour to get the hotel.
