From the Windy City: A Chicago Caper to Edwardsville
Chicagoan with Edwardsville dreams? No problem! But this journey's a bit of a stretch – we're talking about 276 miles, or roughly 4.5 hours on the road. Hey, at least that's plenty of time to:
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
- Contemplate the meaning of life (or at least what exit you should take next).
- Develop a deep appreciation for rest areas.
- Conquer a mountain of gas station snacks (champions get double points for trying all the regional varieties).
Translation: Pack your snacks, this is gonna be a road trip adventure!
From...Beyond the Known World? (Because the World is Big!)
Ever dreamt of reaching Edwardsville from, say, Timbuktu, Mali? Well, my friend, you're in for a doozy. We're talking a transatlantic odyssey of about 4,400 miles. In that case, ditch the car – planes were practically invented for such epic journeys.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Translation: This might require more than a road trip. Consider a passport and maybe a translator app (French is spoken in Mali).
