So, my brother and I are setting out on Thursday morning for Kennesaw, Georgia; traveling from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In all it should be about thirteen hours one-way, assuming we don't hit any major snags. Should be a fun trip if we can stand the drive; the longest either one of us have been in a car before is about 6 to 7 hours and this will be nearly double that. I imagine there will be periodic stops for rest and food, so the entire trip one-way will probably end up in the 16 to 17 hour range. What's the craziest road trip you've ever been on?
Longest road trip you've ever been on?
Went across the US once. From California to New York down to Mississippi. I was about 5 years old and it was with my Dad. The drive there lasted about 5 days because we made a lot of stops and sight seeing. It's a shame I don't remember most of it, but I can't imagine myself as a 5 year old keeping sane for 5 days on the road...
I live in BC, and when I was about seven my family and I went down to California in Disneyland by car.
From Oakland, California to Chicago, Illinois. I didn't mind driving it at all. I had some fun times.
That I remember, last year's road trip to Caracas that lasted about 20 hours, it was boring as hell.

Been across country twice. Both trips were chaotic but with some great memories. NYC - Cali then Cali - Rhode Island/Va. Military family, station to station lol.

I've never been west coast and would love to travel cross country and see the whole country.Also, When I visit grandparents in Texas with my family, we take a 30 hour trip non-stop to From Virginia to Austin. Previous trips have not been so pleasant."

I am going on a trip at the end of April to Connecticut. Its a 17 hour drive from Kennesaw,Ga. I wish I could fly there,but the people I am going with are trying to be "cheap" about it.
Well, geez, I expected some people to have gone on trips longer than this one is gonna be, but I never expected so many. I don't know why anyone does what we're doing, really—I would've flown, but he wants to drive and I'm just kind of tagging along to help with the driving, so...
Fortunately my iTunes collection is well-organized, so we'll have music to listen to all the way there and back. Shouldn't be too terrible of an experience.
I have travelled from Leeds, England to Hamburg, Germany by bus. I think it took about 20hours, with the channel crossing. Can't really remember because I was totally hammer'd because I was on the road to Wacken 2007. Saying that very few of us were sober, good times. The trip back was worse cos everyone was sober, and hungova... bad times.
My family is rather crazy about travel. Long story short, I've driven from Kansas to Alaska. We drove straight through Canada in a blue creep-van, and went as far north as possible until we hit a wall. (not physically. lul) We could have gotten on a bus ride to go up to the arctic ocean, but that costs extra, and we're cheap.
I've been to all 50 states, and most of Canada as well.
Driven across Europe a couple of times. Last one involved driving down from England into France, then down through Switzerland to Italy, up and over one of the world's twistiest mountain passes, through Austria and into the Czech Republic. We then drove back across Germany, did the Nurburgring and then the car died as we drove into Belgium. Had to dump it there and get the Eurostar train back to England. All in a car that cost £68, or about $100 at the time.
The longest drive I have undertaken is from Melbourne, Victoria to Monkey Mia (to swim with the wild dolphins) in Western Australia. This trip was about 4,500 kilometres long and took 6 days. It was part of a 4 month holiday.
The longest I've probably been on is a 2 day trip with my dad from just south of Sydney up to a bit past Brisbane where my grandparents live, with an overnight as Scotts Head for some surfing. It was pretty fun overall. Longest plane trip has been Sydney to Dubai. 17 hours. Got to fly first class with Emirates though so it was probably the best time I'll ever have on a plane.
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City.
Drove through Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland and then all the way back again in ten days....
Fly from Jacksonville, FL almost every summer to Amman, Jordan, that trip usually takes about a day and a half all told, flight time about 16 hours all together, 13 hours nonstop from Chicago to Amman. I hate that flight so much, but then again, I've never flown business class.
Massachussetts to Florida 24 hr. drive. Watched the lord of the rings trilogy in the back with my brothers, best way to past the time.
Roughly 8 hours is my record, but later this year me and my brother will be driving to Rome, from England.
And we have to get there within 4 days.
The farthest my family would drive was from Massachusetts to New Jersey, which was never a very long trip. Long enough to drain the batteries in the Gamegear though....
I'm from Milwaukee also but the farthest road trip I've been on is from Milwaukee to Detroit.
Every other time I guess I would just fly.
With my parents, drove across northern US and then back across southern Canada (started from Toronto).
With me driving, drove from Toronto to NYC and then back again a little over 24 hours later. Left NYC at about 11pm and got back to Toronto around 10am. Only took about an hour or so break each way to take a quick power nap. Fun stuff.
