A good "rule of thumb" value to remember is a quarter million miles. More precisely, the Moon's orbit is elliptical: its average orbital radius is 384401 km, apogee (farthest distance from the Earth) is 406700 km, and perigee (distance of closest approach to the Earth) is 356400 km.

One more vote for a quarter of a million miles, or a very long walk.
