directions.getDistance() returns an Object that has two properties
.meters and .html.
If you want a number on which you can perform calculations, use
directions.getDistance().meters
(Watch out for that strange spelling of "metres" if you're not American
yourself.)
If you want to display the information in a localized format that's more
meaningful to humans, use directions.getDistance().html
You might also consider getting to grips with the concept of
asynchronous calls and callbacks, so that you could use them to get rid
of alert("hi")
