What is the furthest you have been from home?

5462.31 miles from Santa Barbara, California to London, England. I tried to calculate it for the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel, but to no avail.
 
I forgot to offer that I've also been to Maine...saw the sun rise on Cadillac Mountain (first place it can be seen in the U.S.). I've got an empty bottle of Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale somewhere in the house that I kept as a souvenir.
 
With Los Angeles as the home, I had three choices, Hong Kong, Canberra AUSTRALIA or Dubai UAE. The winner was Dubai at 8311 miles. All told, I'm right at 3 million total air miles in the 53 years since I first took flight. I'm no where near finished either.
 
Technically I haven't travelled at all from my current home (haven't even been out of city limits since we arrived!) but if you include the journey to get here then:

Belfast, Northern Ireland to Saskatoon, Canada = 3780.38 miles / 6083.77 kilometres.
 
From San Francisco, CA to Trento, Italy: 5963 miles.

Barely beating out...

From San Francisco, CA to Vaduz, Liechtenstein: 5859 miles.

When I finally get to Rome, that will be the record: 6239 miles!

There sure are a lot of San Franciscos in the world! :lol:

And since this appears to be The Maine Thread, yep, been there too...very pretty coastline and all...been to all but four of the US states (Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas are the ones I'm missing).
 
Other than the time I was abducted by the Greys and taken to the Andromeda galaxy... it would be 2219 miles, when I went to Isreal.
 
10395km, Vienna, Austria - Quito, Ecuador to the west (technically a little more, since I was at the coast too; and stupid me for not making the trip to Galapagos while I was there - would have been ~1000km more then); 6853km Kolkata, India to the east.

How ever far it was from Tampa, FL. to Bratislava, Slovakia

What the hell were you doing there? I've been to Bratislava several times, but it really isn't very "touristy" imo... ;)

I live in California, and the furthest I've been from there was this past October when I went to Washington D.C., which is about 2800 miles away.

16704.33 from current home in Adelaide South Australia to what will be my new home in Peterborough Ontario
 
Ottawa, Canada to Phuket, Thailand is 14,049.01 KM.

Second farthest is from Ottawa, Canada to Guanzhou, China: 11,770.50 KM.
 
Sydney, Australia, which means 10301.69 miles / 16578.51 km. Technically it might be a bit more, since I have been to Melbourne as well, but I only got to see the airport, so that one doesn't really count.

Ah, just in time. I was about to complain about the lack of alien abductions in here. :D

The farthest from home I've been is Las Vegas, which is apparently 1, 878 miles away.
