	Amazon's documentation says: "If you specify the general endpoint, 
ec2.amazonaws.com, we use the endpoint for us-east-1."  See the following 
URL:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/Query-Requests.html

	Note that "us-east-1" is a 'region'; "us-east-1a" is an 
'availability zone'.  As far as I know, there's no way to allow Amazon to 
select a region for you.
