Remember that mapping programs only give “travel time”, not “total trip time.” that 19 hour drive from NY to FL is 19 hours in the car, on the highway. Realistically, that’s a 2-3 day trip.
FL to NV is, likewise, 37 hours on the highway. So, same as your office job for a week, but instead of working you’re just driving in a car.
With a little elbow grease and knowing where cops might be, you could work those numbers down. ;)
I have to have the road trip conversation with friends before we do anything. It’s like, do we want to make this leisurely and the drive is fun, because that’s going to need an itinerary and planned stops, or is the destination all that matters? Because I can make that 37 hour drive in about 38, give or take. Most of the time, I’d prefer it that way. Roadside destinations and ‘gotta stop here’ restaurants are always pretty lame, in my experience.
it’s actually not as bad as I thought it would be
Clearly they’ve never heard of the cannonball run.

Ah, to be young and childless and have sufficient privilege where staying awake for a day and a half doesn’t mess you up for the whole week
