Final Facts and Figures

This is way overdue.  Part of the reason for the delay is that I've been busy, but part of it is that I haven't wanted closure.  I'll have some other wrap-up type posts over the next few days, including my final rankings, but for now here are the final facts and figures.

Length: 405 days

Miles Traveled: 66,000 (obviously the mileage in the logo is laughably wrong - I just didn't put enough thought into it.  Our round-the-world plane ticket was for 34,000 miles, so I just slapped that number into the logo without accounting for any other travel.)

Countries Visited: 20 - Ecuador, Peru, Chile, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Jordan, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom and South Africa.  These are the countries in which we spent at least a few nights, but we also made a day trip to Lesotho and drove through Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro.

Flights Taken: 20 (ignoring connections)

Intercity Buses Taken: 38

Trains Taken: 16

Cars Rented: 4

Accommodations: 100 (counting all our nights in the Jucy Choppa as 1 and not counting nights slept in transit on trains, planes or buses).  We mostly stayed in hostels, but we also stayed in people's homes, tents, lodges, a few nice hotels and on a couple of boats.

  2. I too do not want closure so think of a lot more facts and figures! :) Truly amazing that you guys traveled so many miles, saw outstanding sites and would certainly need another round-the-world trip to see other stuff that you missed. Incredible the different modes of transportation that helped you circumnavigate the globe.

    I can't wait for the next post of Magge's and your final rankings. It will really be interesting to see if your pre-ranking report matches up closely with your decisive final ranking.

    Yes, today is a great day!

  3. Wow, 66,000 miles that is over 1/4th the way to the moon. also 348,480,000 feet and maybe some days your feet felt like it. Wiki answers says that you traveled twice as many miles as Marco Polo and saw about as many countries.
    Go guys.
