How long does it take for the post office to deliver a letter 1000 miles away?
That depends on a lot of things. In Canada, the post office says, "Regular letters are delivered within 2 business days within a city, in 3 business days within a province, and in 4 business days nationally (excluding the day of mailing). If you are sending letters internationally, delivery time varies by country, but we expect international letters to be delivered in 4 to 7 business days."
From Kenora, Ontario to Cornwall, Ontario is 1260 miles (by road), then a letter can travel 1000 miles in 3 days. On the Other hand, Windsor, Ontario is across the river from Detroit Michigan, but Canada Post says this should take 4 to 7 business days.
In practice, letters are often delivered to addresses over 1000 miles away in one day, both in Canada and the U.S.
Time is relative. If you could leave earth and travel at high speed for awhile and then come back to earth, you would find that earth clocks were ahead of yours.
O course if you are bored or are waiting for something exciting to happen, time seems to move more slowly. The night before Christmas used to seem far longer than more nights. Time also tends to pass more quickly for older people than for young children.

A normal year is 365 days. 3/4 of that is 273.75 days. There are 1440 minutes in a day. 1440 x 273.75 = 394,200 minutes.
Do you have to buy monthly minutes even you have not used up all your minutes from prior month?
Yes, if you are on a prepaid plan that requires a monthly payment, you typically need to purchase a new set of monthly minutes regardless of whether you used all of the previous month's minutes. Most prepaid plans operate on a "use it or lose it" basis, meaning any unused minutes do not roll over to the next month. However, some plans may offer rollover options, so it's important to check the specifics of your plan.

A mile by boat is the same length as a mile by car, foot or airplane: 5,280 feet. If you're asking how long it takes to go a mile by boat, that depends on the speed it is going.
Whoops - I think I misinterpreted your question, so I'm amending my answer. A mile by boat is stil 5,280 feet, but there's something else called a "nautical mile" which is used mostly by sea and air navigators who can't measure long distances just by laying a ruler against a map, because any flat map trying to portray the spherical earth distorts distances. A nautical mile is equal to one minute of arc of longitude at the equator (or one minute of arc of a meridian, one of the imaginary circules around the earth the goes through the North and South Poles). This is about 6,076 feet.
