I have just been reading this fascinating book about all the famous explorers like Columbus, Magalhaes, James Cook. It was really astonishing to read all the hardship people on those ships had to go through at that time. It took Magalhaes 3 months to get from Miss Horn to Mariana Islands without seeng a land. James Cook spend 8 months traveling from England to Tahiti and that was in the mid 18th century. Doesn anyone here have any nautical skills or experience and can give me examples of how long modern days ship journeys take? E.g. cross Atlantic trips or trips from Europe to Asia on a ship. Any comparisons with the journeys I mentioned?

I am currently tracking a package I am waiting on, I got the standard "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper to expect your package for mailing." but that was 3 days ago, yes 3 days. And there has been no update whatsoever. So the statement that they have on there "information is updated every evening" must be false or something. I understand that there are thousands of people tracking things at any given time but why even have a tracking system if its so unreliable? I just dont understand. I just want to know WHERE my package is.

On the greyhound website it says (in nice bold print) that seating is on a first come, first serve basis and that purchasing a ticket in advance "does not guarantee a seat". Does this mean that even though I've bought a ticket I may not be able to take the trip if the bus is full? Might I have to stand for the whole 23 hour trip?
