Thank you! I'm always amazed at stories that lack the proper illustration, usually a map. Quite an omission for a story all about flying over land and water. I suppose they're harder for the authors to make than just using stock photos.

PS: you are missing the stop in Karachi, now in Pakistan. I only saw this because I looked at your map repeatedly while reading the story, to get a feel for each leg of the flight.

Thanks for pointing that out - fixed!

I think you missed that they went to New Caledonia on the way back?

New Caledonia is the "Nouméa" stop in the "Outbound" direction.

Seems to not be rendering correctly, then. I although I see "Nouméa" in the return trip, it renders as going directly from Auckland to Gladstone.

Ah, I missed that in the article. Fixed.

Give this man a cigar!
