Road Trip

A number of times have I got lost, trying to follow the direction of my destination; with my map guide that serves me right, to trace the streets and exits to make. It’s a kind of familiarity with the place, through navigation in the pipeline and outdoor; goes evidently as the result of what it means, to be on the road and be glued to one’s destination. A passel of drivers speeds in the express highway others drive like snakes along the way with hardly considerations to those who drive behind them; It’s lack of courtesy and insensitivity to those who care for safety. Changing lanes in a safe way to do it, accelerating in a normal speed required; these are ways that a driver can make, as he drives freely with caution and courtesy. There are times when roads exhibit traffic congestion, especially when it rains and everybody has to be careful; flooded roads cause delays and commotion, anger and irritation, impatience and exhaustion. My own experience while on my way, to pick up somebody in the airport – like in JF Kennedy, Newark or La Guardia; there’s always a need to allow a space to wait as flights may be delayed. With a sense of humor this is gonna be of help to someone who may be caught up with regret; While on the way it’s a question of being careful, focused and attentive to the signs of the road.
