OK, I just re-read the rules at the beginning of the thread. The specifics of my children, all biologically mine, are: Mishael Yehuda, age 11 Boruch Moshe, age 9 Perel Chaya, age 8 Yaakov, age 5 Aviva, age 3 Esther, age 8 months I’ll leave the listing at 6 until there’s good reason to update it, say, next February. ---

[QUOTE=TroubleAgain] I lose! 7298.5 mi from Yokusuka, Japan (my birthplace) to my home in Florida. [/QUOTE] I lose, too. Same distance, opposite direction. ---

[QUOTE=jackelope] I don’t think I’ll win. I have, however, been pretty close to the antipodeal point from the place of my birth (which you can find using [this cool thing](http://www.antipodemap.com/)). I was born in Atlanta, GA; the antipodeal point is in the Indian Ocean, as it is for most of the contiguous USA. The nearest land is Australia, which I haven’t visited, but Bali, in Indonesia, is not much farther away and I’ve been there. Irrelevant, I know. But I wanted to contribute. [/QUOTE] That is extremely cool-- I have been pretty close to my antipodeal point. The nearest major city is Perth, Australia, where I have been, at 11,600-odd miles from the place of my birth (New Jersey). I didn’t realize I’d been that far, literally on the opposite side of the world. ---

Boston, so similar longitude, but not too close to where you are. ---
