Question:
I will be on a vacation and I’m not familiar with the neighborhood.
May I carry a paper with instruction of how to get to my destination?
Answer:
We are not allowed to carry things in our hands or pockets etc. on shabbos in a place that doesn’t have an eruv. Try to memorize and get familiar with the map, or you can ask the local people to help you out.
