About 700kms to this year's Languish meet in Italy. It was mighty fun. I went alone, overdosed on energy drinks and enjoyed it greatly. Can't wait to do something similar.

:yes:

I don't get people who complain about long car trips.  It's the best way to see the world.

While I tend to agree...I think it heavily depends on the circumstances, the reason for the trip, and other factors.

Well of course.  I still fly lots of places too.  usually if you're pressed for time, or you aren't interested in seeing the country.

Driving to Shediac is nice.
Driving to Gaspé (similar distance) is not.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Across almost all of Canada from Idaho to New England, and then back to Chicago.  After having driven from Chicago to southern Utah, and then up to Canada.    How much is that?

Not a particularly good childhood memory.
My intent for this poll (and yes, I realize I wasn't abundantly clear) was to gauge how far people have personally driven, not "been driven".  :blush:

As a kid we took one road trip to St. Louis, and another to Thousand Islands, PQ by way of Buffalo and Toronto (don't ask me why as I've got no clue).

Because thousand island is in Ontario & that's probably the best way to go there from Mass.

About 1000KM in the same day, but if you're counting an entire trip then probably somewhere around 6000.
