Living every week in a different city, we are very dependent on our GPS to get around town.  Our first venture out to find Starbucks this week in Tucson landed us at the guard station of an air force base.  Now one might have followed the signs leading down the entrance way that said, “DOD ID required to enter.” Chris, however, is not big on following rules that might slow him down so he directs me to continue forward until an armed guard stops us and asks for our DOD ID.  I explain that our GPS has directed us to a Starbucks on the other side of the guard gate and I asked if it would be possible to get a Chai Latte.  The expected response was the following: “Not unless you have a DOD ID.” Since neither Chris nor I have ever come close to joining the armed services, I asked politely how to get back to the main road.  The guard was very nice and stopped the traffic going into and out of the Air Force Base so that we could continue on our Starbucks search.  Of course, this GPS route took us 15 miles away from our hotel (not so far if there had been a Starbucks at the end of the trip).  For those Starbucks groupies out there, we did find a Starbucks for civilians about 10 miles away from our hotel (in the opposite direction) and we have visited it every morning this week!
