Sunshine State Smackdown vs Land Down Under
First things first, there are two Melbournes vying for your attention. One's in Florida, catching some sweet rays on the Atlantic coast. The other? Well, that'd be Melbourne, Australia, basking in the glory of the Pacific Ocean. Now, these Melbournes are about as close as your chances of getting mistaken for a Hemsworth brother (sorry, but science is a harsh mistress). We're talking about a whopping 9,747 miles (15,686 kilometers) separating them. That's farther than a boomerang throw... well, probably farther than any humanly possible boomerang throw.
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
So, the next time you see "Jacksonville" and "Melbourne" on the same itinerary, double-check that destination! Unless you're planning a super scenic (and ridiculously long) layover, you're probably not island hopping between Florida and Australia.
