900 is doable. I live in VERY upstate NY. Think Canada, not NYC....LOL! We drive to Myrtle Beach, SC in one day. It's about 850 miles....takes about 15 hours with stops for the kiddos.0

I figured it was doable. I will be doing it by myself, so stops will be at a minimum.
Going to leave around 3am...hopefully to my destination around 5.0 -
Houston TX to San Diego CA. straight thru. but had somebody to drive with me so we would switch on off.
Orlando FL to Detroit. by myself. with a 2yo and a cat in the car. can't say i'd ever do that again.
Best thing you can do is get some good music, plan out your rest stops, gas stations etc. And pull over if you're tired. Not worth the risk.0 -
I drove from Chicago, Illinois to Camp Pendleton, California in 1973. Only stopping for gas. Approximately 2,000 miles. On a motorcycle. Right after I made bail.0

This may be my new favorite MFP post! :drinker:0 -
Anchorage, Alaska to Indiana. But will confess to having a driving partner to trade off shifts. Was loads of fun too. But the Al-can is scary :noway:
ETA: Ooooops. Just caught the "in one day" part. Can't recall how many miles was done in one day...approx 650 I guess0 -
San Diego, California to Everett, Washington in 26 hours straight.0

1300 miles from Iowa to South Carolina - 22 hours only stopping for gas and food. It was horrible and I vowed to never again drive that long without stopping and sleeping.0

15 hours from Baltimore to IN. It was in the summer, and we saw multiple huge storms (like 5) in a day. It was the craziest drive I've ever taken. Followed by a lot of alcohol. (too much, but that's another thread!) Good luck!0

The longest I've been the driver by myself was from Baltimore, MD to bfe Maine (just under 600 miles). I had company in the car.
The longest I've swapped out and went straight through was Charlotte, NC to Bradenton, FL (just over 600 miles).0 -
Southern New Jersey to Niagra Falls, Canada with seven 14-year old girl scouts. Took 11 hours with 2 stops. Not sure of the milage.0

If you are doing your trip during a work day make sure you time your drive to NOT go through major cities while during their rush hour. 900 is doable with good music and stretching breaks every 2-3 hours. Get out of that vehicle and walk around for awhile and get some fresh air.0
