Hawaii = Southern Africa
Top of Montana = South Georgia

Looks like the only places you can go to from the US.

Chille, actually. And I've known LA ends up directly between Madagastkar and Tazmania. Slightly ironic, one of the largest known concentrations of trash/junk/plastics in the world's oceans is opposite of Mexico City. Coolest one in the world to ever actualy do I think would be New Zeland to Spain.

Cool utility.
