For you visual types, here is a Google Earth picture with a straight line in showing the distance I have ridden total (about 1,585 miles; I measured 1,560 on the map, the distance on my odometer).
For other reference, this gets you almost to the Yucatan Peninsula, Puerto Rico, past Cuba, and well on the way to England.
