In all honesty? Not really. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like it's its own country. Maybe Lani knows how to put it...
You're welcome. That was a close call.

As the crow fly's....but what about a true straight line right thru the Earth itself?

Well, the difference in distance in that case won't be as large but by mathematical definition, assuming a perfect sphere, the line to Hawaii would still be longer.

And since the earth bulges slightly at the equator that would actually add to the Hawaii difference.

I'm trying very hard not to think of this as the "How far can we get from Moonliner" thread.

That makes sense. Thanks.

I'd need a bit more than $50,000 to move to Alabama......are there any similar programs for Lutherans to move to Rhode Island?
