And as a former Alaskan resident, the improper use of the term continental US is a huge pet peeve of mine. All states are part of the continent. The proper term for excluding Alaska and Hawaii is contiguous.
Alaska is included in my continental US. This is why Hawaii is a different option.
furthest in distance or time to get there? I literally had a "round the world" ticket booked after college that took me Detroit>India>Thailand>Singapore>Chicago>Detroit. but it was broken up to stop in those different places. Australia was 18 hours of flying time, but I think Singapore to Chicago was pretty close to that too.
I've backpacked through Europe a couple times. My longest trip was 3 months. We honeymooned in Peru. We also cruised through the Panama Canal, but didn't spend much time in either Panama or Costa Rica.

Hawaii. I have traveled in the US a lot (I think when I turned 18, I was up to 30 states) but I haven't left the US left. I think when we become empty nesters, we will probably go to Europe if we can get scholarships for all our kids lol.
I do this EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'll be all like " Wow JAPAN I am so glad I never have to make that flight because it's right HERE in Florida LOLOLOLOL!!" but like dripping with sarcasm. Also I am drunk every time I say it ( or at least buzzed).
Maybe it was me?
Are you a man with a mustache and fanny pack? If so, I caught you!
My ability to measure distances is bad. I thought it would be Ireland, but it turns out Tahiti is actually a couple of hundred miles further. (I would swear the flight to Ireland was longer.)
Google maps doesn't want to give me mileage, but I think Australia is technically the farthest (from Denver). I've gone to New Zealand from Denver as well. I've also been to Paris and London from Austin.
In that case Tahoe. 11 hours for a 3 hour drive. But it was the constant backseat baby and toddler screaming that really made it long. About 2 weeks of my sanity disappeared.
