I'm the same way with strange cities, but the worst for me was D.C. Although, now that downtown Boston has changed so much with the new tunnel, I find myself scared to drive there as well.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Funny thing is, I'm ok with D.C. despite getting hopeless lost (seriously cluelessly lost) in SW D.C. on one occasion, When I finally broke down at some ungodly hour and stopped at a gas station, the dude told me how to get to 295 or whatever (it was all of a block away!) and told me to lock my doors tight. And then I discovered my blouse was unbuttoned to beneath my bra. Oy.

I haven't really been forbidden, per se. If I keep my head glued to the headrest, it keeps my back straight and doesn't hurt as much. If it starts to bother me, I can hand the keys to Lee or sarameg.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I will also glare menacingly at her if I think she is overdoing it.

Good! GLARE away at her.

OK, so we're gonna being monitoring doctors' orders militantly, 'kay?
Swear to gawd, you poor people.

If I overdo it, I can just ice on the way up to BB. Allyson's passenger seat reclines.

Ha! Y'all are so funny. Seriously, he never said no driving, I just have to be really vigilant about my posture whilst doing so.
