Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

For today’s prompt I had to do some double checking on relative distances from my childhood home versus my current home.

It turns out that the furthest I had been from home was from Colorado to Florida, which would be about 1,500 miles by air.

To this day, it is the only time I’ve been to Florida. My family liked to use the Christmas holiday to travel and spend time with extended family. Usually this was time spent with my Mom’s side of the family because my Dad is an only child. However, one Christmas was spent visiting my paternal grandparents in Florida.

The first few days or so we spent in a hotel and doing some sightseeing. Among all the places we visited were Disney World and Universal Studios, of course. The latter part of the vacation we stayed with Grandma and Grandpa so we could have Christmas dinner together and open gifts.

That trip would have been about 25 years ago, and the world has changed so much since then. Personally, I don’t know that I would go back. There are other places in the country, and the world, to visit if I have the chance.
