I looked into how far I went at the time & the figure was 8800miles but I'm not sure if that's the return distance. Anyway it was probably more seeing as my flights got mucked up & I ended up going Auckland-Sydney-Auckland-LA-Las Vegas-Chicago-Milwaukee!!!
Happy birthday & thanks for the chance!!

if there had been a nice plane flying directly from my place to Alpine Valley would be 9659 miles, however with the stupid misdirected planes was about an extra 500 miles...

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

we drove from Phoenix to Alpine Valley 1800 miles I way... The way back seemed a lot longer. The rental company had a cow when they saw the 3600 miles I put on the car in 4 days.
got so caught up in the math of it all that I forgot to add Happy Birthday! The thought was there, but since you can't read my mind all those math-challenging miles away ... happy birthday

It's my 35th as well, Keely. Hope yours is a good one!
Phoenix to East Troy - just over 1400 as the crow flies.

Not far, but considering I went to Chicago 4x, Indy, Tampa, and San Diego to see them since the last time they were at Alpine, it felt like a long ways to get there!
