    Good work sir! Aus to LA is a hell of a flight (and I only went from Sydney!) - good luck with it!

    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.
    you have PJ to look forward to :D and free booze on the flight :D

    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.

    giving metric distances does not disqualify. the better part of the world uses it...
