Not that I ever will again, but....

Wait...what does Bob have to do with wanting to see Pompeii?

I’m still trying to work out why he wants to visit Darwin, Australia ‘just because of the name’, when there’s a handful of places in the US with that name, one of them reasonably close to him (Darwin, Virginia).

One can ague that some humans don't look outward to other places in youth, and like where they live. Growing up I hated the cold winters in Northern Virginia, and longed for Florida and California and Hawaii. And even wanted to see Japan, literally as a kid because of the Godzilla movies. But even long before meeting Bob or John, even with Australia, I knew of Olivia Newton John, and never imagined back then, that if someone had told me back then, that eventually I would cross the Equator and visit the south Pacific, I would have called you crazy.
