I got a Private License about 30 years ago and got lost on one of the unsupervised solos. It was bad decision making on my part, the weather had come in and I could not get home due to clouds on the route I had planned. I should have put down at one of the several unsupervised fields that were close to me but I had a date with this stunning mexican girl that night and didnt want to miss it.
I ended up crossing the San Diego / Mexican border a few times without realising it before I was able to get back to Montgomery field. My instructor was less than thrilled.
