I haven't had a road trip in a while. In March, I drove to Dallas. It was ~275 miles and 4 hours. It wasn't a long drive. It's probably been ~15 years since I made a long drive, 550 miles in about 8.5-9 hours because of the wife and dog along for the ride. I'd previously made the same drive by myself in the 911 in closer to 7 hours. The longest drive that I ever made was 1000 miles and took about 17 hours because I stopped and took a 3 hour nap in the middle of the drive.

I am generally more concerned with getting to my destination and minimizing travel time. I suppose if I were to plan a road trip, where the trip was the destination and I took interesting routes, that would be different, but I've never done that.
