When I was 16 and had my first car and license my friend Dion and I decided to drive to Pennsylvania to go to the King of Prussia Mall. Once we were there he said "hey I know this place called Jim's Steaks in Philly, want to go get a cheesesteak?". Now this was before GPS and Smart Phones so we, without any forethought, got on I-76 until I saw a sign that said "I-676: Central Phila" and I said "yeah, that looks right". We then drove up Market Street asking police officers until one gave us directions. Then after we were done, I followed my compass east until I found an interstate.

These days I'm way too big a planner to do something like that without lots of directions and my phone as a backup.
