"Can You Estimate How Far You Have Traveled?"

It feels odd to know that in less than seven days, I will have touched all seven continents in NOT seven months, but just under FOUR months.

INSANE!

While I was meeting with the owners of a property I am looking to rent in Encinitas yesterday, I was telling them about my travels. The wife asked me if I knew the mileage of how far I'd traveled. I'd told her:

"I haven't been keeping track of the mileage... Or the cost. I just know I haven't hit all the cities I want to see or burned through the amount I set aside in an account to do all of this travel."

But I decided to actually add up the mileage to this point...

And it is far more than I had expected!

This doesn't the trip I took to Arizona in December. But the total so far comes to around... 92,227 miles.

WOW! I hadn't realized how far I'd gone! But you may now be wondering...

"How much is left?"

Hmm... I don't even want to begin to calculate it all out right now. Maybe I'll find the energy to do that later this week.

Maybe.

But I still have all of Europe left. And I'm doing it in two trips. Plus I have Mexico left. Plus another trip to Phoenix and another trip to San Diego.

As a friend of mine told me this weekend, "Just trying to keep up with where you are and when you are makes my head spin."

You're telling me, buddy!
