TRANS-PACIFIC TRAVEL BECKONS

It's time for Driving & Life to venture afield, so we will sample the chaos of LAX and environs,

then test driving in the traffic on Florida's east coast

after which, thanks to the luxurious ms Eurodam, we'll journey into the Caribbean pirate's paradise at St. Croix and battle the tourist traffic in Frederiksted. 

Then we'll be nosing the vessel into Nassau.

Maybe we might even spot a car named after the Bahamian beach resort.

Whatever the next week or so delivers automotively it will be a break from Australia's rainy season.
