Contest 1 Update: How Far Are We Going?

Here’s your chance to win four movie passes for your family. You need to guess how far the Boyle family is going to travel on this adventure. The segments of our trip are as follows:

1. We flew from Calgary to Toronto and then from Toronto to Ft. Lauderdale where we boarded the Royal Princess cruise ship.

2. We will be on the cruise ship following the itinerary posted below concluding in Rome, Italy. Major stops include Ecuador, Peru, Tahiti, the Cook Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, India, Dubai, Oman, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Greece, France, Spain and Italy.

3. From Rome we fly to Frankfurt, Germany and from there we fly directly to Calgary.


Here are a couple hints. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is about 40,075 km. The distance traveled from Calgary to Ft. Lauderdale was 4,448 km. Brad's guess is 51,714 km.

You must reply to this posting or send us an e-mail at bboyle@shaw.ca no later than midnight, January 31, 2009 to be eligible to win the movie passes.

GOOD LUCK!
