I find it surreal that you have to get flights from one end of the country to the other, but I suppose it makes sense with how big the US in in comparison to the UK.
For me it's the dreaded 9hr + flight from the UK for me. Actually this may it was just short of 9hr from Manchester UK, to Sanford. Although I remember flights from years past which were 12+ hours, stopping in Canada to refuel.
