I just went to Google Maps and found directions from the first place I lived to the second, then there's an 'Add Destination' button at the bottom of the directions, so I just kept adding the places until I got to where I am now.

Dammit. Asian streets aren't there... plus I cross a couple of oceans. There's not even an option to "swim for 2,500 miles".

I can find Japanese street provided I search for them in Japanese (proper Japanese, not romanized). But it can't calculate directions between the Netherlands and Japan.

Ahhh, so cool. I never knew about this feature!

Here I am: (I think that's everything!)

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=Woonsocket,+RI&daddr=Buffalo,+NY+to%3AEdgewood,+KY+to%3AProvidence,+RI+to%3ACincinnati,+Hamilton,+Ohio,+United+States+to%3AEnglewood,+FL+to%3Aprovidence,+RI+to%3ANarragansett,+RI+to%3AFort+Lauderdale,+FL+to%3ANorth+Kingstown,+Washington,+Rhode+Island,+United+States+to%3ANorth+Attleboro,+MA+to%3AProvidence,+RI&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=29.910058,58.447266&ie=UTF8&cd=10&ll=34.597042,-78.222656&spn=30.821452,58.447266&z=4&om=1

(also, you can just keep typing places in the destination box by adding to:myplace, region to:myotherplace, region)

You're in Cinci?

Do you ever see Less Nessman hanging about? hehe.
J/K, I love it there, I would consider moving back, but there's no ocean and I can't be land-locked any more.

Do you know if Sudsy Malones is still around? It used to be across the street from Bogarts.

Little Rock, Arkansas

Y'all come back, now, ya' hear?

Not sure if Sudsy is around. You don't need the ocean when you have the mighty Ohio!

When I lived on the other side of the river (Edgewood, KY (near Florence and Erlanger)) , i used to venture down to the KY side of the river for high school parties, and we would always come across people fishing. I don't think I'de eat a fish from that river.

I haven't been back since they built the new stadium either, Ide like to check it out sometime though.

I was downcity when the Reds swept the oakland A's in the World Series, the whole city went bonkers.

For some reason I couldn't get driving directions to kuwait or afganistan, so in between utah and california, just get some string and some push pins.
