"Bubbles81002," What do think "East Coast...West Coast" is? Hawaii's a bunch of Islands about 3K miles from the West Coast (California, Oregon, and Washington) and Alaska is still on the North American Continent, but is "separated" by Canada (British Columbia). #1's a fair ?n. If you're gonna get on the Pontchartrain Causeway, be sure you've got gas ("petro" ) in your car -- it's a mighty looooong walk to the next gas station! Wobe2 OUT!
