NY to London (the Google Maps way)

[bgowland]

This is from an email forwarded to me by my wife...

Take 60 seconds to do this, I guarantee you will show someone else.

1. go to http://maps.google.com/
2. click on "get directions" (third line at top)

In the second line boxes:

3. type "New York" in the first box (the "from" box)
4. type "London" in the second box (the "to" box)
5. click on "get directions" button (right of From and To boxes)
6. in left column scroll down to step #23

Cheers,
Brian

That bit that I like is that if you click the "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean" link it comes up with a little picture. It seems to show a pier - that extra 100ft or so would make all the difference if you wanted to swim

that's rather funny: drive to the new england aquarium, find yourself a parking lot for the next few months and jump into the new england aquarium (ehmmm or was it the atlantic ocean?)... if you drove to far and arrived at the christofer columbus park that's really bad luck. now you have to swim to spain with a stop over at the canary islands & have to take a short walk through spain & france
