Question: How far do you live from the place "where you grew up?"
My Answer: I grew up near Erie, PA, and Boca Raton, FL is about 16 hours (if you drive fast) by car, three by plane, and about 1250 miles.

I grew up in Tampa, and still live here. I can't imagine living up north.

Suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA to San Diego, CA - about 2,500 miles. About 2-4 days by car, depending on sanity.

I live exactly 67 miles from where I grew up in Miami to my home in Deerfield Beach (about spittin' distance from Boca Raton). Hopefully before year's end I'll extend that by 3500 miles when my wife and I move to Seattle, WA.

I grew up just outside Cleveland, Ohio and live in Orlando, Florida. It is approximately 1000 miles to Cleveland. 2.5 hours by plane and I made it in 16.5 hours by car. Just take I-4 to I-95 to I-26 to I-77 North. It gets a little hilly in the Mid-Atlantic states 🙂

About 20 minutes for me. Actually, I got back from Father's Day dinner with my folks.
Funny timing on this posting - the subject was a common topic for me over the past few days. I'll be discussion tomorrow when I form coherent thoughts. 🙂

Reunion Wrapup
I can proudly say I managed to survive my reunion. Although I was looking forward to it, not even I could have imagined how well it would go. As I said beforehand, there wasn't anybody on the list of attendees I was violently opposed to seeing.
