It amazes me how some people can drive longer than others.

    I drove 34 hours non-stop. Well, I stopped for gas and when I made gas stops I went to the bathroom. Those stops took less than 10 minutes, sometimes less than 5.

    About 3 hours. Home to school in Miami. I could probably drive longer, but I've never done a road trip before without old people with weak bladders.

    12-13 hours From West Virginia to Connecticut. Only stopped to eat, pee, and gas up. Which is normally done in one stop or I eat on the drive.

    That's a pretty long period, don't think I could do it. Kudos to you! :) Where were you driving from and to? I'm curious.

    8 hours. I was not so impressed with myself, but with my niece riding with me. If I was 17 she'd have been 12. We did not stop even once for a restroom. We were driving from my brother's home in El Dorado, Kansas to my parents home in Texas.

    43 hours with only gas stops, one hour rest at a rest stop in Illinois. I don't recommend it.

    ETA: I was driving from Virginia Beach, VA to Parma, ID. I've driven it several times now, by myself and with my husband. I hate it more and more each time.

    Yeah... I like driving too.

    6 hours is about the cutoff time between driving or flying.

    I once drove from Atlanta to Los Angeles and if I recall, that trip took about 7 hours.


    ..... I drive pretty fast.

    Yeah but when you have two dogs and a cat that have to go too, flying gets way too expensive really damn fast. And one of my dogs won't poop while traveling, hence the no stopping unless necessary. I try to get there as fast as possible so she doesn't just explode.
