On my way back to Mexico, I was waiting for my connecting flight in Houston when I checked my emails. I got one from my boss that told me I was again chosen for a course for a special fiber optics tool that we run on Coiled Tubing. And guess where that course was being held . . . if you guessed Abu Dhabi you guessed right!! I was going to go to Abu Dhabi for the 3rd time in 6 months, and I would be leaving in 2 weeks!! This time the course was going to be 4 weeks long so in all I would have been in Abu Dhabi for 13 weeks total for the year. I guess I should be calling that my home now since I had been there longer than I had the US (5 weeks) in the past year!! This news came as a shock since I was already preparing my mind for starting up work again, but no I now was going to another course! I definitely was not sad about going but I dreaded the flight a little!
Speaking of dreading the flight, I decided to see exactly how many miles I flew this year in the past year because my travel schedule was crazy this past year . . . I have been on over 35 flights!
So after looking back at my tickets, I have flown a grand total of
68,287 miles!!!
That equals:
2.75 times around the circumference of the earth
22.75 times the length of the USA
136.6 times the length the state of North Carolina
284,259 times the height of the Empire State Building
62,079,090 times the height of me!!
And most importantly, it equals to 17,071.75
Krispy Kreme Challenges which equals to
204,861 glazed donuts eaten!!
That is a lot of donuts!!
