Day 365! 1 Year!! (06/06/2014)

Hello Readers.

Today marks the 365th day of our travels. Yes it has been a year already! I'm sure it feels much longer for you all but time has really flown for us. It seems like only last week we were trekking down into the grand canyon or laying in Fiji enjoying the "Fiji time culture"

So we have been away for 365 days that equates to:
8760 hours or 525,600 minutes or 31,536,000 seconds.

In that time we have done quite a bit of travelling. Distance wise I have spent some time working it out for you....

So when we set off we flew from London Heathrow to New York, 9 hours, a total of 3485 Miles 
After that it was a drive to see Natasha in Canada, 12 hours, a rough total of 493 Miles
A week later it was back to NYC so another 493 there.
For the next 23 days we drove across America as you well know, a total of 10,594 miles.
San francisco to Los Angeles was an overnight drive, 380 miles there.
Our flight to Fiji was 11 hours and approximately 5534 Miles
From Fiji to Sydney was only a short stint of 4 hours - 1962 Miles.
This brings us to Australia. 
In our car we have done 9375 miles.
In debs car we have been roughly 1078 miles
Ians car hasn't done as much work only clocking up 312 Miles.
and a future calculation will be our flight home;
Sydney to Dubai is 14 1/2 hours and will be 7486 miles
And Dubai to London - 12 hours will be 3417 miles.

Including the flight home we will have travelled 44,609 miles (71,374km for our foreign friends)
To put that distance in perspective that's the equivalent of driving from brighton to london 841 times!


Here are some of our highlights...
