Upon my arrival here in Vancouver for the Paralympics, and as a member of the Presidential de ligation, a few of us went out to dinner with the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, the Honorable, David Jacobson. We chose a restaurant in the vicinity of our hotel and headed off in an official vehicle, lights flashing.
The driver and security guy were discussing which one-way streets went which way and how to best reach the restaurant. I quickly pulled it up on my GPS, set a route and compared what I was seeing on the Braille display with what they were saying. I casually mentioned that I had a GPS but not more.
When my GPS told us to turn, I said nothing. After all, I was a passenger and they were the escort. It was really hard to bite my tongue when we were clearly taking a long way around. It wasn't that much out of the way so no harm done.
Given the circumstances, I think not saying anything was the most diplomatic thing to do but the child in me wanted to speak up.
