How far?!?



Mrs. Elletson just broke the news to me that Vegas is pretty far away. I looked on a map to try and estimate the amount of time we will be traveling, but she told me that doesn't really help because we are flying on a plane. (Doesn't she remember how I get airsick? I'm more of a floating duck and less of a flying one.) I'm trying to get her and Dane to reconsider this whole flying thing, but she told me the time estimate on the map doesn't include breaks, eating, or sleeping. Can you help me figure out how long it would take to travel by car? I think we should stop and rest for 15 minutes every 3 hours, eat on the go to save time, and bunk down for 9 hours overnight. If we travel 60 miles per hour, when would we arrive?

  1. You would get there the next day at
    4:28 missouri time and
    2:28 Las Vegas time
    Leaving at 7am + pulling into a hotel at 10 pm (with 9 hours 2 sleep)

  2. Thanks for the help Kristen! Mrs. Elletson is being stubborn and insisting we fly. Check out my next pic of the airport parking lot!
