I've Come a Long Way, Baby.

Here's an interesting meme I found somewhere:

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.
5. Repost the instructions to the meme in your own blog.

The first place I really remember living was a house in Merchantville, New Jersey, which we moved into when I was five. We moved again when I was about ten, but I lived in the same general location, at least, until I first came out here for college at the age of eighteen.

So, my childhood home in Merchantville, NJ to my current one in Socorro, NM, according to Mapquest:

Total Est. Time: 30 hours, 55 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 2013.59 miles

So you can go home again, but in my case, it'd take a while to get there.
