The life map route meme

1. Go To Mapquest.com
2. Click on 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.
FYI, I first tried to do this through mapsonus to try to show my majour life route of moves in a multi-stop route, but it complained like this:
For now, we limit routes to 3500 air miles.
You've asked for a 8140 mile route.
I would just like to make it clear right now, I NEVER ASKED for an 8,140 mile route.
anyhow. =) I guess I'll just multistep it in mapquest, who's large scale maps are a bit prettier for this anyhow.
I'm going to skip all of the various sundry other personal moves after I moved out of the parental house however. The cumulative total is pretty big, but the final differential is remarkably small right now.
Current differential, birthplace to current living place:
Total Est. Time: 28 hours, 20 minutes Total Est. Distance: 1837.50 miles
Total differential map:
The 'differential' just doesn't measure up to the path taken to get there.
