350 driving miles from the (former) hospital on Cleveland’s East Side to my front door.
2285, give or take. Never been closer than 1200 miles since I got out of the service
About 25 miles. Kind of a homebody I guess.
It’s showing 13,519 kilometers now, so the mistake must have been mine. I guess I’m turning dyslexic.
But I’m 8401 miles from where I was born and 8854 miles from where I grew up.
I’m about 250 miles from Lansing MI where I was born. I’ve lived briefly in Berlin and Mexico City, but otherwise it’s been about 50% East Lansing and 50% Columbus.
2846 miles. Started in Trenton, NJ, am now in Woodlake, CA. 86.24 miles per year.
Joe
About five miles from the home I grew up in and about seven miles from the hospital where I was born.
I am at work right now.
According to Google Maps, 18.8 (driving) miles from the hospital in Brooklyn that I was born in to my current residence in Queens.
Born in Chicago, living in Honolulu
4,250 miles
I should add, I was a military brat, so my “roots” aren’t really Chicago. I lived all over the place (K-6 in a different schools each year, 3 different high schools). I came to Hawaii as a military dependent, and decided to come back after school.
About three inches.
What?!?!
Fern Forest:
You were actually born on the volcano? Or is there a town of that name nearby?
3858 miles.
Birthplace is 961 driving miles away. House I grew up in: 1,079 miles
5,156 miles. Born and raised in California.
Ninety-five miles from the San Francisco hospital where I was born.
from Hong Kong, China to Southern California, a whooping 7250 miles. Actual flying distance is around 8000 miles via direct flight IIRC, flights tend to avoid flying over the middle of the pacific and stay close to land.
EDIT: doh, I spoke too soon.
Geez, now I feel like Homer, I live in an apartment complex fifty metres from the hospital in which I was born.
Though I must say at times I’ve lived in excess of 3000km from said hospital.
Kilauea is a name from Hawaiian mythology. The volcano was named such, but there’s also a pretty little town called Kilauea on the North Shore of the island of Kauai. I’m betting that’s where the poster is from.
(The town near the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island is called Volcano.)
Here’s a funny coinkydink:
I was born in Honolulu, now live in eastern Colorado. My youngest son was born in eastern Colorado, now lives in Honolulu. We are both exactly the same distance from our birthplaces. Hmmm!
I’m in the same town, about 14 miles from where the hospital used to be and about 6 miles from where it relocated to.
I have, however, been on the other side of the world from it.
