Almost 15 years ago I traveled the furthest I ever have traveled when I went to London, England for a week.
In about 3 months I should be traveling to China. It's something like 17 hours on the plane.
What's the farthest from home you have traveled and what was the purpose of the trip?
In my case it was London and it was as an unofficial chaperone on a trip with the high school I was student teaching at. We visited museums, historic sites and saw theatre shows. I remember we stayed in Hampton Gardens and visited Cambridge and Stratford-on-Avon. We saw An Absoute Turkey, Cats, Les Miserables and Macbeth performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company. I fell asleep during MacBeth, but I fell in love with Les Miserables.

Ok... I till bite on this one...
To fly to the US from Australia to be with Mike...
To fly to Australia to visit my family...
Cannot wait to fly to China though...
I am so incredibly happy for the both of you.
Sorry I have been away for a while... life has been SUPER busy of late... besides, you beat me at that Scrabble game and that cut me deep :)
Looks like China beat Israel by about 1000 miles for the farthest we've been from home.
Congrats once again on your upcoming trip to China, about 8000 air miles from ATL to PEK.
BTW - Les Mis love it or hate it - I loved it - a wonderful story of forgiveness and redemption - not to mention incredible music and staging.
I am not sure which trip was actually longer my trip to Libreville Gabon in 1988 to begin my Peace Corps stint or our flight to Kiev in 2003 when we adopted our daughter. I know that the trip home from Poland to Chicago with a sick, crying baby was a very, very long trip. Congratulations! I hope your trip to China and back goes wonderfully.
Our longest trip was to China and was the most amazing journey of our life!
Hey Michael! I think my furthest travel time was to Papua New Guinea. Once I went by way of the Philippines, and the second time I went by way of Australia. And then coming back I went by way of New Zealand. I know all of them were long. Probably through the Philippines was the longest because we had a 15 hour layover in the airport! Anyway, I don't care how long the travel is, anything over 2 hours is way too long to do on a regular basis in my opinion. But once in awhile, it's totally worth it. :-) Again, congrats!
