For the first one, I found another route that gets in at 17 clicks.

1. Travel Visas
2. Travel Visas at [Shopping.com](http://Shopping.com)
3. Link to ‘Epinions’ at bottom of screen.
4. “View more” on topics
5. “Online stores and services”
6. View more
7. Search engines
8. Review of Yahoo search engine
9. link to [search.yahoo.com](http://search.yahoo.com)
10. “Directory”
11. “Browse Directory” (Lame. Two clicks just to bring up the directory.)
12. “Reference”
13. “Ask an expert”
14. Straight Dope!
15. Message Board
16. MPSIMS
17. This thread!

It seems the real trick is just finding the shortest way to the nearest search engine.
