You and Utah: A Pond-Skipping Adventure (Without Getting Wet, Obviously)
So, you've got your sights set on Utah, the land of red rock canyons, salty lakes, and the greatest snow on earth (according to Utah, at least). But there's one teeny tiny hurdle: London. Yes, that London. Fish and chips, Big Ben, the Queen (bless her heart).
The question burning a hole in your pocket (or your teacup, if you're feeling fancy) is this: How far exactly is this Utah from my London life? Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a geographical romp that's more epic than a Mary Poppins chimney sweep.
We're Talking Across-the-Pond Far, Folks
Let's not mince words: London to Utah is a doozy. We're talking transatlantic distance, baby. Think of it this way: you could toss a double-decker bus and it wouldn't even hit American soil (please don't actually throw a double-decker bus, that would be a tad dramatic).
Here's the nitty-gritty: we're looking at a cool 4,875 miles (or 7,846 kilometers). That's farther than you can walk in a weekend (or a month, or a year...you get the idea).
But wait! There's more! (cue the cheesy game show music)
While the distance might make your head spin, don't despair! Modern marvels like airplanes can whisk you from Big Ben to Bryce Canyon in about 12 hours. That's a movie, a nap, and a few rounds of in-flight bingo, and bam! You're in cowboy country.
So You Want to Ditch the Bangers and Mash for Fry Sauce?
Here's a quick guide to get you from London to Utah:
- Fly, you fools! This is the clear winner. Several airlines offer nonstop and connecting flights, so shop around for the best deal.
- Channel your inner Lewis and Clark: While we wouldn't recommend walking (see previous point about distance), you could theoretically sail across the Atlantic. Just BYOB (bring your own boat) and be prepared for a very, very long voyage.
- Hitchhiking Across Continents: This might be an option for the truly adventurous (and slightly crazy). Just be sure to pack your patience and a good translator app (because "Utah" might not get you very far in Europe).
Disclaimer: We highly recommend the first option. Safety and all that.
