"A small packet" trivia

Toward the end of "A small packet", the player-envelope crosses a couple maps - one of (part of) the US mid-Atlantic region and one of (part of) the Atlantic Ocean.

While the maps are hardly detailed, these are, in fact, based on the area we live. The line under the ocean at the end is one leg of TAT-14, the one from Tuckerton, New Jersey, USA to Widemouth Bay, UK, and probably the line through which a small packet sent directly from our house to our UK friends houses would go.
