Who's traveling the furthest?

Very nice, Fried Egg. I grew up in Orlando, so I can say that Perth, Australia, is the farthest large well-known city: 18,328 km.

Of course, the real antipodal point to Orlando is in the Indian Ocean, so if a SAS user was stationed on an aircraft carrier on patrol in the Indian Ocean....

Nice work @FriedEgg! It's a shame @BobW_HBF_Oz from Perth won't be at SAS Global Forum this year who embarked the journey a few years ago when SASGF was in Washington, DC - http://blogs.sas.com/content/sgf/2014/03/31/opportunityshare-present-win/

Nice job, FriedEgg!

That is some nice work, FriedEgg.  Very impressive.

Bonus question:  What is the set of cities (or, say, major cities) where we could hold SAS Global Forum and from which Geraldton, Australia would be the furthest point?  

Bonus #2: Is there anywhere we could hold it such that Cary, NC, USA would be the furthest point, or is that not possible?

And guess what dr. Bob after a 50 hours journey? Straight to the tweet-up even before dropping his luggage in his room where we had e few beers. Aussies are made from strong stuff.

Not the furthest - but 1,300 miles there and 1,800 miles on the way back (from Madison Wisconsin) difference is on the way back I'm flying through Minneapolis instead of Chicago.

I thinks @hollandnumerics may have the longest and the most scenic journey to #SASGF... https://twitter.com/hollandnumerics/status/836346738667552768

Hope the trip is going well Phil and see you soon!

Cheers,

Michelle

Only about 1200 miles Ottawa > Toronto > Orlando but now I am recoverying from a cold and greatly looking forward to piping hot 30 degress C weather. I also have to start adjusting my sleep hours, so I can get to the Airport for 5 AM Sunday.

I think I might be in with a decent chance at this year's travel prize..

Melbourne to Sydney to San Fancisco to Orlando - total 10,856 miles.

It was supposed to be 25.5 hours from first departure to last arrival, but the Melb-Syd leg was delayed due to bad weather & I missed the connecting international flight, so was held over in Sydney for 24 hours.

I'm actually on the SanFran-Orlando flight right now - if it lands on time then that will make 49.5 hours.. (and only a day and a half to lose the jet lag & adjust the body clock..)

So if I look a little tired Sunday, you'll understand why..

1,323 for me to travel from the western 'burbs of Minneapolis to Orlando.

See you all Sunday!
