Meet Gabby.....

When we were planning for this trip we thought having a GPS device just might help.  Yes, we know there are apps and Goggle maps, but none will help you if you don't have connectivity.  Bill researched different GPS devices and decided on the Garmin.  We knew we picked a good one when we were off the beaten path in San Carlos, got twisted around and decided to try the GPS.  We turned it on, put in our destination, and almost instantaneously it said "turn right on Road".


The damn thing knew exactly where we were even without any road names!  We were impressed.  It finds restaurants, banks, gas near by.  It usually knows one way streets (had a little trouble entering La Penita, but in its defense they had changed the entrance into the town).  It continued to impress us time and time again during this trip that we began to affectionately call it Gabby.  We call her Gabby because she can talk a lot especially if you don't follow her directions.   We quickly learned to not rely on her for pronouncing any Spanish words, she really needs some lessons!

As we continue our travels in this beautiful country, it's nice to know we have Gabby along for the ride!  If you're looking for a GPS device, we'd highly recommend the Garmin!
