Road Trip Anyone?

Somebody at Google has a sense of humor. I love it. Go to google maps, click on "get directions." Enter a USA starting point & a European ending point (I've tried Paris & Heidelberg, and they both worked) and then see if it works. . . Read the following directions, making sure to check out #17:
