Driving Mrs Daisy
I have done a number of things in my life that some people may consider scary*: bungy jumping, sky diving and even spending a night at the Tulane Pike house during Mardi Gras. But none of those compare to driving a loaded, four ton, manual transmission Thai dump truck. On the left side of the road. Backwards. Onto a car ferry. Onto a car ferry that can't stop because it is high tide. Luckily, Pete offered me this really good advice: "don't hesitate on the ramp, don't drive off the back." Lovely.
Pop it and go, I survived
