So Siel and I made it home yesterday after a not so great beginning.

Checking out of the hotel took a little longer than I thought it would (there were problems with the bill, including the parking charge, which was not supposed to be there,). We finally got out of the city, or so we thought. In following the 80 east we should have (at some point) gotten on the 580 east but we missed it.

Thank goodness for the GPS on the Tahoe!

I usually have a great sense of direction but this time I was completely lost. Turns out we were only about 15 miles out of the way but that 15 miles cost us about an hour.

*sigh*

I am so glad that Siel has a good sense of humor and savvy tech skills. 

The Chevy Tahoe has a great in-dash system that includes gps, XM radio, and probably a bunch of stuff that I'm too tech-challenged to even recognize what it is. Once she programmed the gps with where we were going we were able to get back on the road.

(She has already posted about the cost of filling the tank here.) 

I am thankful that I had this opportunity to really test a car. I am not currently in the market for a new car but when I am the Hybrid line from Chevy will be on my list of cars to look at. I'm hoping by then that there will be a larger selection of models to choose from. Personally, the Tahoe is too large for my needs, but I loved that we only used one tank of gas per direction-great on the pocketbook!

We rolled into Burbank just a few minutes behind my husband and children who had been camping all weekend. It was great to be back with the posse!
