World Traveling

A couple weeks ago I ordered a computer for someone, and because she wanted a few special options, it had to come from the factory.  It arrived yesterday after traveling half way around the world, and it got me to thinking.... this computer has been to places I've only dreamed of visiting!

It's been to Alaska. Dang it, I want to go to Alaska!  And I want to go across the ocean to Asia.

According to Google Directions, it would take me about 897 hours, that's almost 38 days, to get to China from here, and it requires a Kayak.  I wonder if I could build a raft instead?

But with the magic of modern transportation, via FedEx, it got here in just under a week.

Too bad it didn't take pictures of it's travels.  Hey, it's got a webcam, right?  Hmm.... maybe that's why it would take me 38 days vs. 6...... I'd definitely snap some scenic photos along the way.

At any rate, looking at this box that just came half way around the world to get here, I get a bit anxious about my own adventures, still slated to launch by the end of this year.

I can't wait to get started and I wonder if I'll get all the way to China someday too.  I sure hope so!
