Where Am I At?

Sorry, people. Time keeps passing while I'm looking the other way. Let me know if you get that.
I've been reading a book about an alternate history where people travel from London, England to another planet, where the ancient city of Babylon still exists, simply by stepping through a gate. It's a good story, but I really like the idea of being able to walk through a gate and instantly being somewhere else. It would make long distance travel something I could do with ease, as well as painlessly.
Some of you might know that I have an inner ear problem, which is why I can't fly. Once a passenger jet gets up to cruising altitude, the cabin pressure causes me unbearable pain. Plus I tend to lose the hearing in my left ear for about a week or so. Needless to say, I haven't flown in roughly 25 years.
So, you can see why I would be interested in being able to travel instantly through a gate to anywhere. I would be able to become a world traveler. I could wander through Europe and Asia. I could go with my Chinese friends to visit China, and stay as long as I like. The world would be my oyster. Ah, the possibilities are endless.
So, if anyone stumbles across instantaneous gate travel please let me know. In particular, keep an eye out for one that leads directly to Bora Bora. I have a long vacation that's waiting there for me.
