Australia is nice! I'd really like to go there one day. And to New Zealand, too. But of course, after the LotR films, everyone wants to go to New Zealand. XD

Yeah I bet every view from Australia looks good! Apart from the monsters, and exploding trees, of course. But still.
Australia is one of the places I HAVE to visit one day. I'd like to tour around the whole place.

The whole place? Do you like getting killed by snakes and kangaroos?

Or getting attacked by the crocs? (Except for the life-threatening flora and fauna of the place, it's still one of the places I'd like to visit some year. )

I do too. Beginning to wonder if some kind of party trip is in order.

Uh oh. Hey, ommadawn, just how much space do you have...? We'd better do this trip somewhat soon, before the airlines get the bright idea to put those godawful seats in for international flights!

I'll row across the Pacific first. It would do me good. I'd be able to fit in those seats on the way back. ;D

Well, taking a plane down there would likely take you close to the Bermuda Triangle. No, thank you.

If you attempt to swim, you will be eaten. If you fly, the runway will explode. And once you actually set foot in Australia (formerly The Dead Zone, formerly Monster Island, formerly Monster Peninsula) you don't want to know what will happen to you.

See, rowing is best.
Knight, the flight plan would likely be something like Halifax New York, LA and then...I don't know. No where near Bermuda.

Rowing?!
Don't you remember that picture book in 'Jaws'? The one Mrs Brody is reading just before she suddenly demands that her boys get off the boat and get back indoors?
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

You get killed by giant robots, that's what. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Year_War#Operation_British

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Bah, I may be fat but a seal still makes a better meal. That's what I'll eat all the way across, seal meat. And if a shark comes along I'll just toss him one. no seals were harmed in the making of this post

Yeah if you fly west through LA (and I think most flights to Australia go that way), you skip the Bermuda Triangle. Hell, I live in Tornado Alley with rednecks, rattlesnakes, scorpions, and black widow spiders. We even have gators in the southeastern part of the state. The locals are more disturbing than the critters (so I might actually be slightly prepared for the trip ).
