Google Maps/Cool directions

Just got alerted to this on another forum, and I thought I'd share it with the CH EF'ers. I guess Google is really getting on the anti-airline, pro-environmental bandwagon.

1. go to www.google.com
2. click on "maps"
3. click on "get directions"
4. type "New York" in the first box (the "from" box)
5. type your home town (in CH) in the second box (the "to" box)
6. Click 'get directions' again
7. scroll down to step #23
8. Have a chuckle...

Re: Google Maps

I saw that last week, made me giggle.

I think I should send it to my father's wife, who once asked me how I was going to be "getting to Europe" when I was still living in the US and going on a trip over here.

She's not the sharpest pencil in the box. Maybe she started to work for Google though, and none of us knows it!
