Too far! :(

I couldn't even guess how far Italy is from Orlando. Anyone know?

540 miles

It takes about 8 hours by car and the same by plane, since there aren't any direct flights. For obvious reasons, we drive. That way we never lose our luggage. :)

I tried to do a search on mapquest, yahoo maps, and Rand McNally. None will let me plug in Italy as the country (only will allow me to put in US and Canada:confused: ).

What time is it in Italy right now?

Too far for my husband to want to drive every year (I think its 23 hrs) and too expensive to fly every year (If I had my way it would be every 6 mon :) )

Sigh......Feb 2003 can't come soon enough!!!!!

From the job that I worked last month to the DTD parking lot... 4.9 miles! (or was it 5.1?) was i a fool to turn down the permanent position? the houses right there were pretty expensive.

LuvTigger
08-12-2002, 09:56 PM
I am so dumb...I tried punching in my address and a WDW address on mapquest to figure out the distance. It wouldn't even try to figure it out, I guess because there are no roads from Hawaii to the mainland US!! :rolleyes:

However, if I remember from old Mileage Plus statements, it's over 10,000 frequent flyer miles!

1037.47 miles Total Estimated Time: 17 hours, 30 minutes

And believe it or not, it's virtually on interstate highways. If I counted correctly, there are only 2 Stop signs and 10 traffic lights between our house and WDW. If I could only go 1037.47 miles on a single tank of gasoline (and no potty breaks).
