uh for me some states are further than Canada is.

10 years ago i went on a vacation to Minnesota
Distance: 1620.0 miles one way.

It took me less than 28 hours,driving by myself,
and back then the Speed Limit was 55 mph!
Divide 55 into 1620,it comes to 29.45 hours.:)

This time included buying gas,eating,using the rest room,
and a 2 hour nap on the road!

Coming home it took me 28 hours,I went a different way;
that turned out to be slower,as the local roads were 3-45mph for about 100 miles.Ugh

I'm hoping I'll get to go to India (from New York) in a few years. I dread the longass flight though.

The longest trip though was flying from PA to San Fransisco then drove to Lake Tahoe.


jesus thats a long drive. my max distance is going to be around 500 miles. any further i would rather get on a plane and spend my time at my destination rather in a car. o yea btw, my longest trip is from new orleans to vietnam, 22 hrs flight time and hours lost on layovers.

the flight these days are a lot shorter now that they are flying over canada instead of over the pacific.

I was drug to Disneyland by my parents twice as a kid.

Last week I just got back from Idaho.

I was 24 before I had my first trip on an airplane. That was a business trip to New Jersey.

For vacation I really don't care to travel very far.

Wow. I first went on a plane when I was 3!

I :heart: flying.

My parents took me flying when I was 3 months old. Beat that sucka.

As an Army brat, son of an Army aviator, I was flying before my second b-day :p

Farthest I've lived was Saudi Arabia.
