Actually, there are several ways to get a 5000 mile one-way trip over here;
how about Anchorage, Alaska to Key West, Florida?  How about Victoria, BC
to St. John's, Nfld? Or Fairbanks, Alaska to Miami, Florida?  As you can see
if you look at a map, from Fairbanks or Ancharoage to just about anywhere
on the East coast will be a lot of miles, and coast-to-coast in Canada is
a long drive also.
