I love this - you can get from Australia to the US via Japan, but not Australia to the UK for instance...

Seems very scenic! I've always wanted to go to Japan, and I'd love to go back to Hawaii. The kayaking part seems a bit tough, though, and would presumably obviate the need to actually get on a plane.

It's called Tullamarine Airport, luv!

... but don't bother with the directions on Google maps. They are shite. For example, the directions to the aiport from my place feel the need to take you off the Tullamarine Freeway - you know, the one that goes to the airport - and take you through Buggarup and Dunthinkin to the back of the airport. Where the runways are, not the terminals. Presumably, being Google, the directions are most useful to terrorists.

What baffles me most is the requirement that the Pacific be crossed by kayak. Don't Google know about ships and aeroplanes?

I especially like the kayaking.

There used to be a way to get from America to Europe that involved swimming from New York to France. :D

Oh and beware, there is a 'Sydney' in Canada. :P
