A Long Journey

A Long Trip


 We continue reading books about the long journey West. We know that the pioneers travelled 2,000 miles from Independence, Missouri to Oregon Country. The trip was slow-going and took 6 months by wagon! Think about the longest trip you have been on. How did you get to your destination (bike, car, plane, ship)? What did you do for entertainment? How did you feel when you arrived?

  9. My longest trips were Hawaii and London, they were like 10 for Hawaii and 8 for London. I do not remember a lot about Hawaii because it was a long time ago but I do remember London watched a movie than we took off than I watched another movie, than I ate, than I read than I went to bed. When I got there I was tired, hungry and happy to be there

    1. Garrett, it sounds like you will be well entertained in the car! I'm so glad you will see touch for the first time with your cousins. Skiing is so fun! I didn't touch snow or learn to ski until I was in high school. You'll love it!

  13. The longest trip I ever took was 16 hours by car to Sanibel Island, Florida. What I did for entertainment was watch movies, read books and I played on my Iphone 4. I felt like I just wanted to jump into the waves.

  14. This summer we are going to Maui, Hawaii with our cousins. It is 3,814 miles. And it is about an 8 hour flight. And my longest journey in a car was from Newport Beach, California to San Francisco, California. It was about 425 miles. And the longest journey I've ever been on on a bike was about 12 miles in Sun Valley, Idaho.

  15. my longest plane trip was to Costa Rica i don't remember a lot about it but here's what i know we wen't out of the United States, we arrived at 12:00 pm, we got sun burnt a lot, and you have to know this watch out for the people with camras. Kay and I were drinking shakes when a photo person came up and said, ah you boy friend girl friend yes no? Kay and I but now Cochran had to smile then she said, go to the aqua, whats the aqua? Cochran asked. Then on we always tried to hide from them. But the rest of the trip was awesome.

  17. This will probly be short but I will talk about my longest miles i went biking. I was at my farm and early in the morning my dad said lets go biking so i changed and we got on are bikes and went off. I said lets beat last times record 17, but at 15 I was tiered off going up a mileon hills, i got splinters on my thumbs and my butt heart so badly . But my dad said almost there, so i thought about how i would get to rest at home and before i new it i was back at home.

  18. I would say my longest hike was about 11 miles there and back! It took about 8 or 9 hours to get to our destination but when I got to Rust Lake the whole camp site was full of snow. My longest car ride was to Colorado, it took about 2 days. Or 18 hours.
