There’s a LOT of water between Sydney, Australia, and Vancouver, Canada! 14.5 hours in a metal tube making my way home from #ICANN87. (And then one more 5-ish hour flight to Montreal.)

The image displays a flight information screen showing a flight path from Sydney (SYD) to Vancouver (YVR). The distance to destination is 12,482 km (7,756 mi), and the estimated arrival time is 05:58.
