I left Japan on May 29, 1982, and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport. From there, I spent about five months traveling back and forth between the United States and Canada, crossing the North American continent, until I departed from New York’s JFK Airport on October 23 of the same year. The total distance covered was 9,700 km. Since the shortest route by car is apparently about 4,500 km, this means I traveled more than twice that distance.
1982年5月29日に日本を離れて米国ロサンゼルス空港に到着し、同年10月23日にニューヨークJFK空港を発つまで、約5ヵ月かけてアメリカとカナダを行き来しながら、北米大陸を横断しました。実走距離は9700kmです。自動車で移動する最短距離が約4500kmのようですから、その2倍以上走ったことになります。
