Um, tbk, London->Istanbul: 1555 miles. New York->San Diego: 2437 miles. Europe really is smaller, and western Europe really is comparable to New England. Ed, I agree about the trains — I love to go to Frankfurt with carry-on only; I’m through customs, on the U-bahn, and in the Hauptbahnhof before most of my plane-mates have picked up their luggage. I wish we could do that in Denver, but our light rail is costing upwards of $60 million a mile… it seems unlikely that’s going to be economical.
