    Can't say I've gone too too far. Long Island NY to Albuquerque, New Mexico, than a short flight to Las Vegas ( I would have LOVED to rent a car and drive it, but it's 12 hours) in 2000. LI to Toronto in 2003

    I think anyone who has gone from the UK to Australia will have 'won'. Such as Goldrush above.

    My furthest is 4700 miles approximately, London to Vancouver.

    and Cali and Chicago/Alpine for EV solo/Three fish

    Nothing better then travel + PJ..

    I think the real question should be who has spent the most time travelling to see PJ.

    I'd say a 3 day trip from NY to LA for the sole reason of seeing PJ says more than a 3.5 hour plane ride from ny to la.

    24 hours on a plane is common for Aussies going to Europe, nothing special there.

    oooo, I'm sorry. Giving distances via the metric system automatically disqualifies you. Judges? Yes, I'm sorry, you are out of the running. Again, so sorry.
