Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

January 29th, 2010

Distance travelled by various modes of transport during my two-week holiday in the USA:

  • Planes: 11,952 miles (LHR-ORD; ORD-IND; IND-ORD; ORD-SFO; SFO-ORD; ORD-LHR)
  • Trains: 75 miles (Woodstock, IL to Chicago; LHR to Paddington)
  • Automobiles: 1127 miles (Wales-Hackney (and return journey); Hackney-LHR; Indianapolis-Chicago (bus, return); Chicago-Woodstock; SFO airport connections; San Francisco-Carmel (return), San Francisco-Yountville (return))

This is disregarding some short cab and bus rides, so the “automobile” figure is an underestimate.
