North American continent is huge

Just to get some perspective on the size of the North American continent. My flight from Dallas to Chicago was 2 hrs 20 min, the flight from Chicago to Seattle was 4 hrs 5 min. With layover of 3 hrs, my trip took me 10 hrs with the cab in the end. This trip was longer than flying from Helsinki Finland to Peking, China. This entry is for my friends in Europe.
