Answer
Haha Mountain Man...that's a great deal. Both ways....great deal, lots of it.

Are you in a car or by public transport?
Where are you? North London? South? West? East? I'll suggest places your side of London.
Bit short of people on here. Most are the other side of the pond...the big Atlantic.
To get driving directions anywhere you can use Google Maps.
It opens on USA, scroll over to UK, zoom up to required scale , see "Get directions" at top left of the screen
Put home and destination in and in a few seconds it lists all the turns, junctions, distances, average driving time, all the way there. Print it for the journey.

Alternative idea for a party with noise and as quick as driving or buses into deepest Essex is the train to Brighton.
What? Brighton beach gets quite a few all-nighters.....I've slept a few under Brighton pier.
Tents on the beach too. Fires...not too big, but they get fires going. A few cans, bottle of vodka, and the party's on the way.
Sometimes the biggest really basic difference between night and day on Brighton beach is that it gets dark at night. Not for long at this time of year though...about 6 hours. Sometimes people go home when the Sun comes up. Some zonk out where they are or crawl into a tent or a beach shelter to go bye-byes... or,err.....not go bye-byes.
Cheap fare from London. An hour on the train. Ten minute walk to the beach or live a bit of Bohemia in the Lanes first. Or the clubs. Hot, is Brighton.
Student country...Brighton is buzzing with it....anything. *-* . . anything o0_00

Stuff to watch out for while traveling in the following countries?

Declan

We are planning a holiday for the summer of this year, and we, as a family, love nature, and seeing all the wonders the world has to offer through hiking trips and the occasional wildlife spotting tour. However, my 68 year old mum is going on holiday with us this year and she is deathly afraid of any animals. She squirms when she sees a rabbit, and she went into a fit of hysterics when a wild fox walked by us once. Therefore, I was wondering about a few countries we were thinking of traveling to, and how naturally dangerous, flora, fauna, and climate wise these countries are considered to be:

1)Africa (most likely South Africa):
I'm worried about this continent/country more than the others. Of course, I was wondering if there was any need for a vaccination to protect from malaria before we go there. And what is the wild population of animals like, if we decided to do something similar to a back country hike or walk. These are the animals of concern:
Lions
Nile crocodiles
Black mambas and other poisonous snakes
Hippopotamus
Any other potentially dangerous large animals (big cats, rhinoceros, elephants, etc...)

What are the chances of us coming within close proximity to these animals, and how much of a threat could they pose to us?

2) Australia:
Australia is known for its content of deadly flora and fauna. I'm a little less concerned about Australia, because it is much more civilized, but again, any vaccinations needed before we go? The animals of concern here would be:

The inland taipan and any other venomous snakes
deadly sea life (sea snakes, cone snails, and sharks)
Deadly insectivores (please list some)
Potentially dangerous mammals (Kangaroos, etc...)


What are the chances of meeting such creatures and what kind of precautions do we need to take if we meet one?

3) USA:
This country is a slightly more complex issue, because not only does it have a large number of dangerous and venomous animals, like Australia, but it has large amounts of climactic extremes that I am rather uneasy about, it is a substantially large country, and it has a lot of open space with almost no civilization to get lost in. Please list any vaccinations. Can anyone tell me the likelihood of running into things such as tornadoes and hurricanes during late spring/early summer in certain areas of the country? What other natural disasters occur in the United States? If I choose to go some place like Death Valley, Denali, Hawaii Volcanoes, or The Everglades, what are some precautions that need to be taken in terms of dangerous natural situations? In the event of a breakdown in, say, the Southwestern deserts, what precautions should I take? Some animals of concern are:
Large cats (pumas and jaguars)
Venomous snakes and other reptiles (Gila Monsters, Crocodilians, Rattlesnakes, and Coral snakes)
Dangerous insectivores (please list any to watch out for)
Invasive species like Burmese Pythons
Dangerous aquatic wildlife (great whites, cone snails, sea snakes, etc...)
Potentially dangerous large animals (polar and grizzly bears, pronghorn antelope, sharks, etc...)

If we meet such animals, what precautions should we take to avoid them or treat any injuries caused?
I may seem melodramatic to some, but I am just trying to be as cautious as I can should a naturally dangerous situation arise. Any response is greatly appreciated.

Answer
It sounds like Hawai'i would be great for your entire family. It doesn't have poisonous insects or snakes. And the only mammal in the islands are mongooses. The hiking is some of the best in the world (like to waterfalls) and you don't have to worry about severe weather. It can flood in places in the winter, though. There are beaches that are really sheltered from the open ocean where sharks don't go. Have fun!
