Narrative:
Flew in the wrong direction and landed at the wrong airport without using 2-WAY radio communication. What caused the problem was I tried to avoid the providence class C airspace and flew a different heading. To prevent recurrence, if I have to transition through a class C airspace, I will contact approach and continue to fly correct heading.
