Geri Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I was making my plans to see Haven on the 22nd, and noticed that it was going to be 500 miles round trip. I got to thinking…wouldn't it be fun to add up all the ka-bloomie miles traveled to see the movie? So here's what I thought we could do for a little fun: Post your round trip miles to see HavenKeep a running total (adding to the previously posted miles) It doesn't matter if you are one of the short-trippers. Every mile counts. So far, we have my 500 miles. Who's next? Link to post Share on other sites
CaliMom Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Oooh, this will be fun! Monday's screening: roughly 42 miles each way, so let's round it up to 85 miles total. Yesterday's viewing: about 35 miles each way = 70 miles. So far, I log 155 miles. Geri's 500 + mine = Total ka-Bloomie miles: 655. Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 What a great idea! Should I include my friend's miles? She will be coming from Ipswich, MA to pick me up and then we will be going into Boston to see Haven! :cheer: It will be interesting to see what we end up with. Kim Link to post Share on other sites
Sparkles Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Great, fun idea, Geri! According to Mapquest, I'll be traveling 67.96 miles each way to the theater in Atlanta on the 19th to see the Haven screening. We'll round that off to 68 miles, or 136 miles round trip. That would bring the total ka-Bloomie miles up to 791. :cheer: I think we'll definitely be giving Orlando's movie the love he's asking for. Kim, I can't speak for Geri, but I think she might just be looking for ka-Bloomie miles here. Maybe she'll pop back in later and see your question. Link to post Share on other sites
Krissy Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 It's a 30 mile round trip to the theater for me on Tuesday. That would bring our total to 821 miles. :cheer: Deian and I are also planning to see it again at least once over the weekend. Geri- do two kaBloomies traveling together count as twice the miles? We'll add those in after we know which theater we're going to for the regular run. Krissy Link to post Share on other sites
Geri Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Yeah…why not! Miles per person! Count the miles of your friends, companions, husbands, and other S.O.'s, even if you're traveling together. Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 May I be a b!tch and say that it's approximately 9 miles each direction? That makes our total 830 miles. Link to post Share on other sites
Geri Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Okay, so is that 18 miles you're adding? (and of course you can be a b!tch. It's your board. ) Total is now: 839! Link to post Share on other sites
Beverly Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Ok, well let's see. I think it's about 30 miles round trip and I am about to leave to see it again.so add another 30. I believe that makes it 899. Beverly :cheer: Link to post Share on other sites
CaliMom Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Well then, if I add the 25 miles my sister travelled for the screening on Monday, that would bring our total up to 924. Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I've already got my hotel reservation for next weekend in Atlanta to see Haven. It's a five-hour drive for me, approx. 250 miles one way for a grand total of 500 miles ! Orlando is so worth it ! Making a total so far of 1424 miles ! Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Well let me see. If you include my friend's mileage from Ipswich, MA to my house and back it will be 44 miles and then add the mileage from my house to the Loews Theatre in Boston and back, that would be 20 miles. So that will make 64 miles when we go next Saturday, providing she still wants to go. I haven't heard back since I e-mailed her the two theaters that will have it in Boston. She did say we will go even if it is in Boston. So that would bring the total Ka-bloomie miles to 1488! Orlando is worth every mile! Maybe after Haven has its theater run, maybe someone could e-mail the total mileage to the Yari Film Group and then they might be able to show Orlando. Just a thought. :wink: Kim Link to post Share on other sites
Cayenne Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Geri this is so fun!! Great idea. Hubby and I are going to see it Monday, in Austin. Round trip from our house, to the theater is 49 miles, so for two people, that equals 98 miles. Hopefully I will be going to the Dallas get together, and the theater in Plano is about 218 miles from home. So a round trip will be 436 miles. 436 + 98 = 534!!!! 1488 + 534 = 2,022 ka-Bloomie miles!!! :cheer: (so far :wink: ) "Maybe after Haven has its theater run, maybe someone could e-mail the total mileage to the Yari Film Group and then they might be able to show Orlando. Just a thought." Great idea, Kim! I looking forward to seeing the total! Link to post Share on other sites
desertflorece Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 My husband and I are travelling from southern NM to Phoenix which is 638 miles roundtrip. Since there's two of us that's 1276 miles roundtrip for the two of us. 2022 miles + 1276 miles (Lisa Q and husband)= 3298 Whoohoo.go ka-Bloomies, go! Orlando, we are indeed seeking out the movie and giving it a lot of love, hon! Link to post Share on other sites
LadyNin Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 OK, if you add my enormous 44-mile round trip and then double that to count my chauffeur (SU), we're up to: 3386 (Lots of love enroute to delivery from Jonesboro, GA) . Link to post Share on other sites
Krissy Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've gotta say it. ka-Bloomies rock! Krissy Link to post Share on other sites
Manatee633 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Geri, I love your ideas! Ok, I will have to travel home from college to pick up my best friend before going to the theatre. So it is approx. 30 miles from school to my house. Then 3 miles from my house to my best friend's house. Then 10 miles from her house to the theatre. After figuring out the return trip and then doubling the part to the theatre, my total is 106 miles. 3386 + my 106= 3492!!! I agree, we are giving this little movie a lot of love which is definiely worth it. ~Mollie~ Link to post Share on other sites
AllisonPJ Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'll add my shorter trip in. I'll be driving down to Tampa with a friend on Saturday, which is about 39 miles from me. So add both of us together, and the round trip is 156 miles. 3492 + 156 = 3648 We're excited to see it, because we both took a cruise this summer and spent a day in Grand Cayman! So we'll be looking for familiar sights (and sites). If we can tear our eyes away from Orlando long enough, that is. Link to post Share on other sites
nezisme Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'll be driving up Tuesday from Columbus. It is approximately 120 miles one way, so I'm adding 240 to 3648 and that makes 3888 And I'm hoping to repeat the drive the following weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
dreambeliever Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 This is a fun little game! Every little bit counts right? Well if I add my 40 miles (20 milesx2) that brings us to a whopping total of 3,928!! And that's a lot of lovin' miles. (We should have a prize for those who have traveled the farthest. ) Kim Link to post Share on other sites
musicnote23 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There are 4 of us going on the 29th (which is when the theatre told us they would have it), and we'll be travelling 35 miles each way, so that's 70 miles per person, x4, which is 280. 3928 + 280 = 4208 Ka-Bloomies ROCK! :cheer: Link to post Share on other sites
rebecca Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Two ka-Bloomies will be traveling up to my house from Richmond (that's a 200 mile round trip X two people, so that's 400 miles). The three of us will be traveling into downtown DC to see the movie (that's 26 miles round trip x three people, which is 78 miles). 4,208 + 478= 4,686 Link to post Share on other sites

aliza Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 So I traveled 4 miles to work this morning, then it's about 3 miles to the theatre from here and then about 5 miles home from there, round trip 12 whole miles, added to the KB total is 4698! Every little bit helps, right? (Can I add the imaginary miles from here to the Caymans & back?) Aliza Link to post Share on other sites
