Lesson 85

If I Took A Trip Around The World

If I were to travel around the world from Dallas, Georgia, I would fly to New York City, then to London. From London I will go to Dubai. Next I would go to Bangkok. I would go to Sydney. From Sydney I would go to Santiago. Last place I would go is Madrid, before returning to Dallas. This journey would mostly be by plane, with stops in big cities. Unlike Phileas Fogg’s trip in Around the World in 80 Days, which used trains and ships and took much longer, modern air travel makes the trip much faster. With direct flights and fewer delays, I could complete the trip in about 2 weeks, much faster than Fogg’s journey in the 19th century.
