Ever realise just how insane distance can be?

From Perth Western Australia, to Philadephia is  11600.5 miles.

From Earth to Moon is 356400 miles.
So, to get to the moon I need to fly just 30 times to Philadephia OR 15 round trips, and that's as the crow flies (straight there). If I counted the trip to get there, it's more like 12 times.

The earths diameter (or how fat the earth is at the uppermost size) is   12 756.2 kilometres. So every time I cover the distance to philadephia, I cover more distance than the earth is wide.

You think I complain when I only get to come to KR at most once a year or once every two years?

  You certainly have me beat. I drive 840 one way so that's 1680 miles round trip  And I complain because I only make two or three trips to KR per year.  My hat is off to you  Don't give up 

wow reading this really makes me feel fortunate in living were i do. It only takes like an hour and a half drive to get there for me.
