                    [Summary] => SYDNEY, Down Under – In the old days, they used to speak of rushing around the world in Seven League Boots. They’re even issuing a Hollywood remake of Around the World in 80 Days.


Nowadays, around the world in 80 hours is more like it. Friday night, I was in Manila. Got here to Sydney, Australia, thousands of miles "Down Under", in time for breakfast. Philippine Airlines flies here via Melbourne, ground-stop there one hour. Qantas flies direct. Take your pick.
