NWFlyer 2 #2 June 14, 2005 When I came out for my job interview in Seattle (when I was first thinking of moving here), I was in my second year of business school in North Carolina. The company wanted me to come out to interview at the very end of my spring break. I was in Key West at the time. So, I flew from Key West to Seattle for the interview, then flew back to Durham, NC from there. (I did actually stay a couple days in Seattle, I think)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

I arrived in Montreal on 12/31/03, 9AM, and left on 1/1/04 at 10AM. I've travelled 6k miles + for a couple of days too though...

freeflir29 0 #5 June 14, 2005 Oh...........and that's not counting work. Used to fly from Cleveland, Ohio to London, Gatwick. Stay for 21-23 hours and then come back. Good thing I had Alana, Steph, and ZMax to entertain me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highfly 0 #7 June 14, 2005 Not quite my story but here you go. A friend who is from NZ was living in the UK. He had to go back home to pick up his visa to allow him to work. He flew from the UK oout to NZ and picked his pwork and a day (or so) later he was back on the plane back to the uk. Once he had returned back to the UK he then had to pack up his stuff to travel out to Bridge day a day after he returned from NZ. He was in the USA for a bout 4 days for Bridge day. So in a matter of a week or so he had travelled from one side of the world to the other and back again and then over to the other side and back again. In total he managed 31336 miles altogether www.myspace.com/durtymac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #12 June 14, 2005 I once drove from Seattle to Reno, spent about 15 minutes there, then drove back to Seattle. It's only 1500 miles, but driving a car takes a little longer than flying.

SBS 0 #17 June 15, 2005 I think Clay has me with his day trips to London, but a couple of weeks ago, 48 hours - San Francisco to Denver to Toronto to Orlando and home to SF. Or LA to Sydney for a week, direct to London for 4 days, then back to Cali. I think that's about the best I can do. :-) -S_____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...
