Around the world in less than 5 1/2 days

Graphic from the Great Circle mapper.

In a bout of total madness, I agreed to a schedule that required me to go round the world in 5 1/2 days.

On the Sunday evening I flew from Heathrow to Hong Kong, arriving Monday late pm. Then on Wednesday evening (it was midnight when we pulled back and its a looooong taxi now at HKG) I flew to San Francisco, arriving Wednesday evening (due to the magic of crossing the International Dateline).

Stayed in the Bay Area a whole 2 days until Friday pm, and then back to Heathrow, arriving lunchtime. Madness!

I now have a carbon footprint the size of Germany, having flown about 18288 miles.
