Summer Vacation (Posted on 2003-10-22) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Ted is a world traveller. This summer, however, he decided to see the good old U.S.A.

On his vacation he went to the northernmost, southermost, easternmost and westernmost points in the U.S. (not necessarily in that order).

He did it without ever crossing a landborder between states and only leaving U.S. controlled territory once.

How did he do it?

Assuming he means the mainland:

He travelled to Maine and went to the most northerly point there and to the most easterly point there (these are also the most northerly and easterly points of the U.S.). He travelled down via boat to Florida to reach the most southerly point, keeping within U.S. waters. He then travelled around the world to reach the most westerly point (looking at the map, somewhere in California).

I guess if he means Alaska and Hawaii as well I'm stuck. But if it's just the mainland that'd be right.
