The Directions

After several days of playing phone tag with my cousin I finally catch her online and we discuss her progress on the directions. Please be forewarned this is not a dramatization of a conversation this is the real deal.

::IM conversation with my cousin::

cuz: So I'm getting the directions right now. What's a good site do you think?
me: lol
me: isn't that part of the duties to find the best site?
cuz: grrrr
cuz: mapquest?
me: nope, I just had it too. Let me look again
me: www.theaa.com
cuz: This is stupid.
cuz: Don't you already have directions?
me: what?!
cuz: lol
me: have you been drinking?
cuz: I feel like I'm wasting my time trying to prove something.
cuz: No I have not been drinking.
me: how about this... I don't have directions
cuz: Are you sure?
me: yes
cuz: Because I don't mind getting them if it's not for nothing.
cuz: lol
cuz: okay then
cuz: Ugh this is really hard!
me: lol, we can walk through it tomorrow once you have the information.
cuz: The Cliffs are situated in North-West Clare between the villages of Liscannor and Doolin. Distance in kilometers from: Shannon Airport 59
me: ok
cuz: The Cliffs are situated in North-West Clare between the villages of Liscannor and Doolin.
cuz: but no directions
cuz: hmmm
me: really?
cuz: It says we should take a bus from Galway
cuz: want me to get directions to galway then?
me: are you using the website that I gave you?
cuz: No, it didn't work because it doesn't go to landmarks
cuz: just addresses
cuz: whatever I'll keep searching
me: hmm, I just put in the cliffs and shannon airport and got directions
me: did you go back to the website?
cuz: no! it wouldn't work. whatever.
me: did you put in Shannon in the From location and Cliffs of Moher in the to location?
cuz: yes
cuz: oh well
Me: no, no
cuz: will try again
me: don't forget to select Ireland as the country you want directions for... it defaults to the UK
me: actually it defaults to GB
me: how are you doing?
cuz: i'm annoyed.
me: you are on www.theaa.com?
cuz: Okay I got the directions (first set) but I don't have a printer.
cuz: I'll just save the links and send them all to you

::At this point we discuss the logistics of getting the directions printed out but just one last goody toward the end of the conversation I had to share…::

cuz: Don't make fun of me on the blog

Are you kidding me?! This is classic blog material, how could I not share this conversation with our audience?
