Ok, I'm sure Kat or Beeb will 'win' this poll, but I figured I'd ask anyway, since I am curious.  I am planning on driving to New Jersey this summer to go to my cousin's wedding and I calculated that it'll be a 702 mile trip, one way.  I think the longest I ever drove myself in one trip before was from Boston to Louisville, which was 970 miles given the idiotic route my mother in law insisted on taking.

I drove from Roma QLD to Moomba SA just to arrive to find I wasn't needed and go straight back home.

I drove from Cumberland RI to Nashville, that was 19 hours worth of driving. Not sure how far in miles.

Around 600 km for me.

Dayton  to Mobile or Dayton to Topeka. I'm not looking it up.

About 50 miles. :(

1,078 miles according to Google Maps.  Nice drive too, looks like you would have gone through the Smokies. :wub:

How do you define a trip? As you have 5000 miles as a choice, I assume that it is allowed to sleep inbetween?

Voted wrong then, I chose the 500-1,000 mile one.

From NYC to Orlando, one stretch, two drivers, dunno how far that is

Yes.  On the Boston-Louisville trip, we stopped overnight in Buffalo... in January. :bleeding:  It of course snowed two feet that night.

About 450 miles to Scotland. You can't go much further in the UK - you'd be in the sea :P

1,074 miles.  Beaten by Timmy by 4.  :cool:

I've never driven too far, my car really sucked and even going down to Middlesbrough (50 miles) was something my parents wouldn't let me do (it was many years ago I had a car)

My family drove from Washington state to Virginia back when I was a kid. Naturally I didn't drive then.

Buffalo, WTF that takes you like 200 miles out of your way doesn't it?

Not quite 200 miles, but it's definitely not the best route.  The fastest route from Boston to Louisville goes through the central part of Pennsylvania then down into Ohio across to Columbus.

Mine did San Fransisco to New York (via LA, Kansas City, Washington DC)

About 1450 km in one go (without sleeping). Two drivers though.

4000 km, NW Alberta to NE Texas.

As a kid I was on trips from Anchorage to Philadeplhia, Philadephia to San Francisco and Philadelphia to San Diego.

From BHM to Miami nonstop.

Minneapolis, MN to Jackson, MS.  One ass-numbing day in the saddle.

Riding shotgun 720 miles from home in Germany to Vienna.

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. 

LA to SF is the farthest I've ever personally driven, so about 400 miles.  Been from LA to Alaska before but it was over a couple weeks and I was too young to drive.

With my dad & mom when I was young as a passenger from Boortmeerbeek Belgium (20km from Brussels) to Torrevieja at the costa blanca in Spain. My dad preferred to go on holiday by car. I was 16 when i first flew.

I and my girlfriend furtest drive is from here Bonheiden, Belgium to Dortmund Germany. around a 3 hour drive

Danville WV to Fort Worth TX.  About 1300 miles IIRC.

Drove cross country (Mass to Reno to SF to Seattle) but with stops on the way.  Longest one shot was DC to Detroit (two drivers, 19 hours).

I rode shotgun for all but 2h, where I did drive, from Montreal to Edmonton. 42h of it.

Only stop was for 6h in WaWa, Ontario. Out of gas, all stations were close.

3718km

Kilo meters? It doesn't ring a bell.  :P

Monterey, California to New York City.  That was a good drive, I remember being high as a kite on Dunkin Donuts coffee at 3am somewhere in Ohio...

edit - we had three drivers, some spending money, and a high tolerance for junk food.

Oh yeah, also drove LA to Seattle one shot, two drivers.  Not sure if that's longer or shorter than DC Detroit.

I drove alone from about an hour east of LA to Portland in one straight run.  That is over 1000 miles, it took about 18 hours with stops only for gas, coffee and bathroom. 

We used to drive to St Louis every summer in the folks motor home, I was only old enough to drive the last time, and we stopped every night.  We also drove the damn thing from Alaska to Portland; I was old enough for that trip but didn't spend much time driving in Canada, which is most of it.  Both Anchorage and St Louis are about 1500 miles according to Wiki answers.

Can I count San Antonio -> Anchorage, with a week-and-a-half break in Seattle, as one trip, or do I gotta split that up?

658km.  From home to Shediac (NB).

Well, because I was "sightseeing", even just San Antonio to Seattle was 3500 miles...adding in Anchorage makes it roughly 6200(according to Google maps).  I think I recall my trip odometer was at near 8000 for the total trip, though.

Last year I drove 165 km from Horbat, Tasmania to Launceston in the morning, then drove another 165 km back in the afternoon. 

Either Pensacola to San Diego or San Antonio to Seattle, don't know which is longer, don't care, both were:  :bleeding:

Let's see, notable can trips:

Winnipeg->Minneapolis->Chicago->Lansing MI 1083 mi one way

St. Paul, AB -> Dawson City, Yukon 1702 mi one way

Whitehorse -> Seward, Alaska 830 mi

Calgary -> Winnipeg (done this so many, many times) 825 mi

London -> Inverness 561 mi

Frankfurt-> Krakow 603 mi Krakow -> Budapest 242 mi Budapest -> Leichtenstein 593 mi Lichtenstein -> Frankfurt 294 mi total 1732 mi

Frankfurt -> Rome 823 mi

Except for the eastern europe trip all were done as round tips, so the mileage should be doubled.


Which just goes to show that the distances up north are HUGE, as it's kat, myself, and Tonitrus with the biggest numbers.

Not personally, but I was on family trip from Poland to Grenoble, France. Which was more than 2000 km IIRC.

Barcelona - Freiburg once. According to google maps thats 861 km.

Voted for the first option as I have never driven anywhere  :P

Marion, OH-->Houston, TX-->Reno, NV


Google maps says that's 3337 miles.

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.

I don't know, Gaspesia is pretty nice.

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.

When I was a kid I lived in Philadelphia, not Boston.

Here's the route we took:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=ivyland,+pa&daddr=cooperstown,+ny+to:buffalo,+ny+to:toronto,+canada+to:kingston,+canada+to:watertown,+new+york+to:ivyland,+pa&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=50.910968,78.837891&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=7 (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=ivyland,+pa&daddr=cooperstown,+ny+to:buffalo,+ny+to:toronto,+canada+to:kingston,+canada+to:watertown,+new+york+to:ivyland,+pa&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=50.910968,78.837891&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=7)

To your mamas house, motherfucker.

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

The longest without stops used to be when my father drove the family from Germany to Northern England (or vice versa) back in the 1950s and 60s. About 800 miles or so and 48 hours. It was in a weeny British car of the period and only Germany had motorways. The 350-mile stretch in England was mainly at about 30mph  :lol:

When me and my wife used to go on holiday (ie pre disabled kid days); we would drive to the country of interest (eg Spain, Austria, Italy) and then tool around an area for 3 weeks before coming home. Those trips would weigh in at about a 1000 miles there, a 1000 miles back and about 3000 miles in total

Most in one day for me has been Laramie, Wyoming to Monterey, California.

if the bus counts then from Winnipeg to van would probably be the longest. been driven on the train, though from sea to sea.

i have only a vague idea how far those distances are. I've gone from NB to Toronto and back more times than I can recall in cars as a kid. also the Trawna to Winnipeg trip I've done a few times. that's no fun either.

Some parts of the world don't deserve being seen. For example, Castille. Long, straight roads with brownish tones all over are incredibly dull.

Anyway, my solo record is fairly low, just over 110 miles, traveling to nearby cities (Teruel, Logroño). My boss is mightily afraid of me getting sick again if I'm too much in the field, otherwise I'd have done quite a few 1000 km trips by now as have all my workmates.

My dream is to get one of those hippy vans (or a modern equivalent) and just drive around Europe.
It would be truly awesome.

(note: not my one dream. That would be pathetic. Just something I'd love to do)

I'm thinking of getting one of those hippy vans (modern equivalent) in the hope that autistic dude will treat it as "home" so that we can once again get mobile for our holidays.

Trouble is that the nice ones start at about £20k, so I wouldn't mind knowing if it was going to work out before laying out the cash  :huh:

I reckon a rental is the way forward.

Road Trips where I was a driver:

Iowa City, IA to Phoenix AZ - 1663mi  (three drivers)
Iowa City, IA to Orlando Fl - 1296mi (two drivers)
Des Moines, IA to Wyoming, RI - 1253mi (six drivers in three cars)
Lowell, MA to Schaumburg, IL via New Hampshire & Vermont - 1015mi (two drivers)

Wyoming, Rhode Island? :huh:

Wyoming RI (http://www.americantowns.com/ri/wyoming)

:)

Can't drive :blush:

I'm planning a holiday with some friends.  Buy a van of some sort, drive down to the South-West of France.  Camp, swim, surf, drink wine.  Return.

Sounds almost perfect to me.

Sounds great. I like to have options on a break. As in, if SW France disappoints you can proceed to Spain or Morocco  :cool:

Also, IMO the best bits of France are obscure villages, odd provincial restaurants and bars etc etc......

I want to be that dad that loads the kids up in the RV, drive them to obscure museums and bore them silly.

THE GUS GRISSOM MUSEUM IS OPEN!

My grandfather used to do that with his my dad, only instead of museums, it was CHURCHES (he was a minister).

The furthest I've driven is only about 120 miles, but I will mention that I was on a road trip with my aunt and uncle where we did North Jersey to Chicago in 12 hours flat, with only two stops, so that drive even took a lot out of us kids (most of my family can't just sleep in the car).

Tempe Arizona to Austin Texas 850 miles.

It totally sucked.  Nothing but desert for 14 hours.

Did Chicago to Marlborough. ~950

Longest without stopping except once for gas: San Francisco to Palm Springs ~490

My dad and I once traveled 2000 miles around Northern Spain visiting churches, cathedrals, castles and the like. I loved it, but visiting churches in the US doesn't have that same appeal.

It sounds like the difference is... you actually wanted to go, though.  :hug:

We had to fucking drive 1,000 miles to Hannibal, Missouri when *I* was a kid to go look at some stupid tourist trap (Mark Twain Cave) that my dad wasn't allowed to see when *he* was a kid and on one of his dad's church-visiting vacations.

Yeah, I've always been interested in history and he knew it. None of my siblings went with my dad in such trips. Curiously enough my brother is now, in his mid 20s, starting to enjoy history through books, documentaries and such. Never too late I guess.

About 550 miles.  Me and two of my friends driving from Utica, NY to Norfolk, VA during this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_blizzard_of_2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_blizzard_of_2003) :ph34r:

I've driven 550 Miles from Detroit to my college town of Houghton in Michigan's upper peninsula; all without leaving the state.

My parents bought a motor home when I was about 13.  My mom's family lives in St Louis so every summer, within a week of school ending, my mom, me and my younger brother would drive from Portland to St Louis (Dad was too busy with work).  We would stay at my aunt's house for 4-5 weeks, my dad would fly in the last week or so , then we would take off for home, but always go a different way.  Over a couple of summers we went through every state west of the Mississippi and saw almost every sight there is to see along the way.  One summer we didn't go to St Louis and spent the entire summer driving around Alaska.  I hated it at the time, what 13-16 year old wants to spend the entire summer in a motor home with his parents and younger brother.  Looking back I wish I wasn't quite such a bitch about it and had tried to enjoy it, we saw a lot of cool shit.

1506.73 miles

Vancouver to SF. It took about 24 hours. we had a drum 'n bass tape on infinite loop during the night.

Under 150 miles.

In the Old Country, we have invented: buses, trains and planes that fly in the sky, violating the God's laws.  :(

Hmm we had about 6 inches of snow last night, and saying we might get another 7-8 so that sounds good right about now.

It is worrying that all this big snow comes on the week I'm to be travelling home.

I still don't get why you would prefer Alaska over San Antonio. :huh:  I've never actually been there but if the climate is similar to Houston, which I've spent tons of time in, I'd pick it over Alaska any day... though I've heard the climate south of Juneau is actually kinda nice, as long as you don't mind never seeing the sun again.

Because from April to Oct it is 80 or higher in San Antonio, fuck that.

And see the sun again? While PDH was making light of the lack of light, I'm far south enought to get about 6 hours of sun in winter time which it tolerable for the summers and 19 hours of daylight and the temps in the 70's.

So live in Alaska in the summer, and San Antonio in the winter. :smarty:

It is worrying that all this big snow comes on the week I'm to be travelling home.
The trains better not be late and make me miss my flight <_<

I assume you're already aware of the British Airways strike scheduled for the holidays, jah?

I have no desire to live in Texas at all.
If i was going to live someplace besides Alaska for winters it would be more like San Diego.

Understandable.  :cool:
