gakked from patgund & elorie:

1. Go To Mapquest.com


2. Click on Directions [I always combine 1 & 2 by typing in "mapquest.com/directions")


3. Enter your Current Address and the Address of your Childhood Home (or at least the town if you don't remember the exact address)


4. Put the time and distance in a post like this.


5. Don't forget to repost these directions. (Not the door to door ones)

Total Est. Time: 11 hours, 56 minutes

These are patgund's instructions - elorie's finished "Post and discuss."

If I do it closer to the way I lived it, I get:

Total Est. Time: 16 hours, 17 minutes

Hmmm, I don't get around much.
Distance from the house I lived in until I was 12 to the place I live now?

Total est. time? 9 minutes.

Wooowee!!

...Also of note -it's two different cities and you have to cross a bridge. *sigh*

I don't think I'm going to try this one, since it would be a long and soggy drive. (My birthplace and my current residence are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, not to mention half of each of two continents.)

Hmm - I wonder if you could coerce MapQuest into believing a Bering Strait Bridge existed? ;-)

2 hours, 33 minutes, 137 miles.

This is a bit optimistic. It usually takes us about 2 hours 40 minutes on a straight-through drive. Their estimate might be correct if there were no stoplights, in perfect conditions, and I drove with traffic instead of 5 under the speed limit.
