Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, that's funny. I'd never seen it.
And here I am eating the poor, helpless, weak, baby Mini M&Ms. I'm a monster.

I drove 28 hours each way for my first trip to Boston.
Never again, unless a close relative's life depends on me doing it.

Longest nonstop run I ever did was Greensboro to Houston with a hellacious storm across the Achafalaya bridge. 19 hours. I'm still never driving that fucker again.
I can't imagine doing that now. I've been in the midatlantic long enough that a couplethree hours is a significant roadtrip. That totally goes away when I go back west, though. 3 hours from my brother's to my aunt's on backroads through Tx hillcountry? Just a chance to blare the stereo and lose my voice. 3 hrs to ABQ? A daytrip and how weird is it to spend the night?! It's weird.

Dallas to D.C. for my cousins 30th birthday. Drove back the next day or the day after.

I think my longest drive was Central NJ to just east of Nashville. That's one I've done a few times. It's like 18 hours each way. I do not think I will do it again.

I did Jonesboro AR to Minneapolis (19 hours) in one fell swoop back in 1996. I came over the rise before the bridge from St. Paul right at sunset, in the middle of a hot air balloon race. It was like driving into a postcard.

And you were giddy from exhaustion which only made it prettier! 19 hours at a stretch, dude. I'd die.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup. Our distance comparisons got all whacked out here. Six hours is about a good driving shift, time to switch up. But then, we generally changed halfway through our shorter trips, just because.
But when we do five and a half hours regularly, and we used to do forty-five minutes just to get to the grocery, it does tend to put other road trips in perspective.
