I know, you’ve been waiting for the grand total – just how far did our van travel over the summer?  In 79 days, it went…<\/p>\n

19,329km
12,010mi<\/b><\/font><\/center>
It may interest you to know that the circumference of the earth is about 40,041km or 24 881mi.  Yes, that means we travelled the equivalent of almost halfway around the world this summer!<\/b><\/i>  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

People keep confusing me because they want to know how long our trip was, and what they mean is how long from<\/i> Canada, as if we were hanging out in one place and then travelling from there.  The fact is we were travelling all summer, and didn’t spend more than a few days in one place at a time.  So that 19,329km of travel was spread out all summer, but if you’re wondering it was about 7 days of travel each way to Canada and back.<\/p>\n

I’ve added more pictures of our trip to our gallery<\/a>, and I’ll keep working on it.  I still plan to post a few thoughts and videos here at the blog during an "Ontario Week", so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
