Heh. Pretty funny. Long trip too: 3,938 mi (about 29 days 10 hours)

I did that once for directions from my home town to Paris. I like how they expect you to start driving after you swim the Atlantic, like there's a car readily available or something. :)

Oddly, Google Maps cannot find driving directions across the Pacific... :)

Haha, that made me COL.
And a good point Dilbert, unless they expect you to carry a car across on your back, or steal one.
Then again, I guess they can't recommend going to an airport or ferry or something because it'd be powerful advertising, sending everyone to one company to get across the Atlantic.
Nice find.
