A “Different” Route to Sydney

I have been working a bit this year in Australia and have been searching out different ways to get to the land down under. This Saturday, Steve Harvey’s column in the LA Times noted that Google Maps may have a way to help. So I tried it. My house to Sydney, Australia. I particularly like item 16. A new adventure.

Oh, I’m not sure why I have to go through Seattle, when the Pacific Ocean is three miles from my front door, but then, who can argue with a computer with that strong a sense of humor.
