Idaho is 83,557 sq Miles. It contains 1.2 million people.

ooooooooo! i think that England's around 60million but i'm not sure how big it is! i thinkit's about 900 miles north/south not including scotland

Idaho is about 700-800 miles north to south, 40-50 miles across at the top and about 200-300 miles wide at the bottom... probably more... but sadly I dont have a map of Idaho handy... I will try to find one so I can give more exacting directions... You could type in Idaho on your web browser and come up with all sorts of info on it...

oooooooooo, i think i will! although in a mo i think i'll go back to bed!

Not feeling good?

nope! i'm ill! for the last 3 weeks i've had swollen glands in my neck but in the last few days my throat has really started hurting and i feel constantly exhausted! this morning i cycled 1 mile and i felt exhausted! i mean, this is supposed to be the person who cycled 90 miles one day, a few years ago!

I did that one day... It was fun... Oh how fun But I pitty you, sorry you are sick! get well soon!

thanks! it's such a horrible feeling having no energy! on tuesday's i babysitt for an hour and a half, it's a mile away, i was half way there and i felt like i'd cycled 50miles over the South Downs! it's so frustrating because i'm usualy really active!

South Downs? What are those? I really would like to visit Great Britian sometime soon...

Whats the weather like this time of year?

the South Downs are a part of a ridge of chalk that stretches east/west across the southerly end of england. it's very hilly!
on the noo, the weather is absolutely gorgeous! it's amazingly hot and sunny, lovely!

Oh that's right! I rember now... are there chalk cliffs in France also?

probably somewhere! next week i'm off to there! South France on the river Ardeche doing watersports, then a few days later we're going down to the mediteranean cost!
wwwhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Lucky Europeans... I have only been to three countries... of corse the United States is large and has some of the same sorts of beautiful sights... but still...

i've been to um, ooooooo, maths! 7 different countries alltogether (soon to be 8!)
mind if i have a small rant on the noo?
the narrowest point atween france and england is dover to calais. that's were the train goes. but we're getting the ferry !!!!!!!! why? the train only takes 1/2hr but the ferry takes about 3 hours! i also get horribly travel sick (literally) and i'm not looking forward to the coach journey which will be more than 20 hours each way! but apart from that i'm hoping to have a great time!

Ohh my... I like the drive from here to Tuscon Arizona, it is about 400 miles and I can make it in about 5-6 hours... I Love going through the desert cause you can go fast and the cops wont pull you over. I love driving, and driving fast...

great! must say i've never tried that! but my record speed on my bike (down a hill!) was 40pmh, now that was scary, hope you don't mind that i've gone off on an absolute tangent.......

I think my record speed on my bike is about 35-40 mph (down hill) my record speed in my car is 140 mph...

If you think 3 hours is bad think about my poor sister on a school trip. They were to take the ferry from Denmark to England which takes 18 hours! And there was a storm which meant they had couldn´t get out of the port, but weren´t allowed to get off the ferry either. So she spent 36 hours on a ferry in a storm.

Blechhy! That would really not be fun at all...

i'm back! and i had an absolutely brill time! on friday i'm getting the ferry to Denmark, we'll be cycling round it for 2 weeks! wwwwhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeee!
