Generally speaking, I love google maps! When we were in Washington last week, we were trying to get directions from Lacey, Washington to Black Diamond, Washington. We knew it was about an hour drive and had a general idea of how to get there. For some reason, when we entered our starting point and destination, google tried to give us directions to Australia.

The map and directions below are for a trip from Seattle, WA, USA to Sydney, Australia. That is an incredibly ambitious trip! I, personally, would prefer a more direct route if I were going to go insane and kayak across the pacific ocean!
