Ok, I've been wonderin for a while now how far would traveling Waterdeep or Baldur's Gate to say...Cormyr or Sembia be in comparison to our world here?
Listen to the silence of the wilds, in there lies the wisdom of ages.

According to the Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas here are some distances as the crow flies

Baldur's Gate to Arabel 767
Baldur's Gate to Selgaunt 1119
Waterdeep to Arabel 1091
Waterdeep to Aelgaunt 1447

With the 3rd edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Set some distances got changed

Here's a map available at WotC: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20060607a

As to actual an actual trek by foot, I would think it would take months.

Like I mentioned before. My party travelled from Everlund to Luskan in a few months.

The Realms is pretty huge, even with magic, travel can take quite awhile.

Yes I noticed how the distances are quite far, yet much of the time the party of Drizzt travels on foot. They must have super callouses.

True, but the only time they really traveled any great distance, they did use a boat.
