What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?

It's about 24 hours of travel back to Washington, DC, following a 12ish hour flight to the US West Coast and then a transfer to get to DC. It's easy, with lots of flight availability (when it's not a pandemic), but a long journey and a big time difference. - Dec 2020

U.S. - takes about 23 hours (door to door). - Nov 2014
