Australia, the first time I ever flew abroad. 14 hours, then two hours at the airport and then another 9 hours.

I'm awful at trying not to cheat in computer games... in the tycoon and SIMS type games I always edit the value files so that none of the building materials and furnishings etc cost me anything! There's no other way I can survive more than about a week (game-time) lol!
