About this countdown

🤗

Deployments, semesters abroad, long contracts away. Set the day they land and the arrivals hall gets that much closer.

Deployments, semesters abroad, long contracts away. 🤗 Set the day they land and the arrivals hall gets that much closer.

A six month posting is about 182 days. People describe the last two weeks as longer than the first four months, and every counter on this site agrees with them.

  • Set a target time to the landing slot rather than to midnight, so the number means something on the day.
  • Share the link with family and everyone counts the same thing.
  • A year away is 365 sunrises apart, and the counter is the only thing that shrinks on both ends at once.
  • Turn the caption off and pick a large size if this is going on a wall display. ✈️
