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.

Cheers,

I had always heard Oz and NZ refered to by that word, but, duh, guess
we were both wrong, Ellen, honey. Are you the current reincarnation of
Neal? Looks like Thailand is my personal Antipode.

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

The silly people here think everybody is somebody's sock puppet. Katy thinks I'm
Capt. Neal fer sure. I wonder about her sometimes (spins finger in circle while
pointing at ear). Anyway, Wikipedia is weird. Everyday people can write it. Sometimes
it's just plain wrong and most times it's slanted or incomplete.

That's where the Antipodes islands really are. I like the way you said *my* antipodes.
It makes sense that way. But, is Thailand really opposite of Mexico? Watch out for those
tsunamis over there in Thailand. If you see any elephants hoofing it for high ground
best you follow them lickety split. Say Hi to HM King Bhumibol for me. ;-)

Coors,
