At the end of this season, have Rick wake up in the hospital from his coma, realizing that none of it was real. Would be a terribly cliche and fitting ending to this series.

In 1851, the 225 foot long clipper ship Flying Cloud set the record for the fastest journey from New York to San Francisco, 16,000 nautical miles in 89 days. We saw them rowing out to a ship for travel. Assuming the ship was similar and the nautical miles were less, I’d say about 2 months of travel, probably longer.
