Inspired by the drift of this thread https://www.early-retirement.org/fo...opular-destinations-113253-2.html#post2745093 , I thought it would be fun to share the farthest points we have been in our various travels. If it comes with a good story, even better. I'll start:
1. Furthest North - Fairbanks, Alaska (~65 deg. N.) It was early summer and I recall the very heavy drapes we had in our room in order to sleep
2. Furthest South - Strait of Magellan (~54 deg. S.) Conning my submarine on the surface.
3. Farthest East - Messina, Italy (~15.5 deg. E.)
4. Farthest West - Ka'ena Point, Oahu, Hawaii (~158 deg. W.)
5. Highest point - Chinchero, in the Peruvian Andes (~12,500 ft) (I don't count the airliner)
6. Lowest point - not permitted to say, but deep enough underwater to die quickly if we had a big enough leak.
7. Most remote - someplace in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
I look forward to expanding my range.
