I am sure that most Americans would think I am talking about a $1000 round trip. As in USA - AUS - USA.

I am sure that very few Americans (perhaps just the OP) would think I am actually saying:


"Guess what stranger! I am thrilled about the cost of specifically the return leg of my trip to Australia, but Im making no mention or reference to my outbound flight."
