correction, on closer look, there is no land antipodal to my current
location, just Indian Ocean. Might as well go to New Zealand I guess,
then Oz

I had always heard Oz and NZ refered to by that word, but, duh, guess
we were both wrong, Ellen, honey. I didn't say Antipode Island. Are you the current reincarnation of
Neal? Looks like Thailand is my personal antipode.

Duh, I hope you know your not allowed to land in the Antipodes. And it's
awful cold. It's home to penguins. Nothing to see there for humans. New Zealand
is supposed to be nice though. The Bay of Islands is good cruising.
