Okay, my coworker just showed me this and I think it's pretty funny. I'm wondering what other locations would do this.

New York to London: Just a short swim away!

Takes about 29 days and 10 hours. Makes me wonder how fast you have to book it across the ocean.

Didn't get it from here did he?

Nope. His friend from another work told him about it. I didn't think it'd have been posted here. Whoops!

Haha, was just going to post this as well. Isn't the Internet great?

It works for everything across sea btw.

I couldn't get it to work for things like LA to tokyo, I could only get NY to london to work.

Besides London and Paris, the route also seems to apply to Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, Munich and Moscow.[shocked]

it probably works because some one has actually swam the atlantic

some french **** called Benoit Lecomte if google serves me correctly

What gets me is that they don't even say "sail" across the Atlantic. Apparently with all of their directions, they think you are on foot.

Not necessarily, you could drop your car off at the hudson river and pick up a ride when you hit land in england.

The reason I said that was because it said to "swim" across the Atlantic. You can't swim in a car or a boat or a plane.
