I was a bit off in my '50 Things' post on Sunday when I said the farthest I've traveled was half way around the world. In truth, I've only traveled about a quarter of the way.

I looked up the distance on the internet to see how far it is between the city I was born in to the city I now reside in. The distance is 6917 miles, or 11131 kilometers. (Give or take a mile or two. I don't know exactly where the hospital I was born in is located.)

I also looked up the circumference of the earth (because, oddly enough, I don't have that number stored in my mental database) and that number is about 24901 miles (40075 km). That means the farthest I've ever traveled is about 28% of the way around the world (which is still pretty far!) *
