Road Rules

Well I'm now into day 2 of my Austin experience.

One thing that almost derailed me on my first day was the drive from the airport to my hotel. I thought I had it all planned -- the route loosely memorised and various maps printed off from the internet. Well to cut a long story short I got a bit lost.

The roads/highways around here are bloody confusing and the signage doesn't really help sometimes. Fortunately I was able to retrace my steps (once I realised I had taken the wrong road -- which wasn't right away), and I got to the hotel in one piece if a little later than I expected.

I think I've got the hang of the driving now and also I've got my bearings a bit (and a slightly better map).
