Kayak to China

So my friend Luke and I were talking at work about biking, and I told him I bike way more than him...but on an elyptical at the gym. In fact that I could have probably biked to China by now via elyptical. He said there way no way that was possible, and okay, maybe it was a slight exaggeration on my part. So to debate this we got onto Google maps to see how far away China actually is by getting directions from the United States to China.

So Google Maps gave us 133 easy steps to get to China. But a few weren't so easy.

Steps 1-30: Drive all the way up to the Washington Coast.

Step 31: Kayak across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii.

Step 32-46: Drive across the Hawaii islands?

Step 47: Kayak across the rest of the Pacific Ocean to Japan.

Step 48 - 104: Driving all over Japan until you get to the southern tip.

Step 105: Jet ski across the Pacific Ocean.

Step 106-133: Drive to the center of China.


....I don't know about you, but I think I'd rather dig to China than spend 38 days and 2 hours going 11,329 miles which includes Kayaking and Jet Skiing across the entire Pacific Ocean.


My directions, 2 steps.

1: Drive to closest airport.
2: Board plane to China.


On the positive side this google search was so entertaining that it distracted Luke from proving me wrong about my elyptical track record :)
