Car journeys you have split into two?

For example when going to Inverness we stayed in Glasgow over night

Too many to mention or even recall.

Traveling from Oregon to Nevada or vice-a-vera we've split in 2. We stay overnight either in Winnemucca, NV or Reno, NV depending on current fire or winter conditions.

 

[Metro West]

When I travel from Orlando to Virginia I usually drive straight through but when I return to Orlando I usually stop in Brunswick, GA on the way home. I normally takes about 13 hours straight through.

Isn't that called a road trip? I say that because most of the people posting here are from North America where driving distances can be very, very long.

That being said, I've left late for what could be done as a single day's drive and stayed overnight before heading home.

When traveling to Edmonton AB to Oregon and back over the years I used to stop in Kamloops BC just to break up the trip.

Especially on the west coast. One end of California to the other is about a 14 hour drive, almost 900 miles.

We drive from Wisconsin to CT and it takes15 hours. Plus we loose an hour driving out East. On our way home we stopped in Sandusky or we stop in Ohio somewhere. But driving 8 hours, it feels like you are on the road 2 days. But driving that many hours in one day is definitely not fun. Last April it was the beginning of road construction and it added 2 hours to our drive. We learned late Fridays and Saturdays are the best, maybe Sundays, But everyone is going back home on Sundays.

 

[TippyThomas]

I generally drive about 5 hours each day of a trip. I take as long as I want

 

[Boopuff]

Back in the olden days we’d do the hump day drives 10+ hours at a stretch. Of course that was back when we didn’t have vacation time had to make every day last. Now the most we do is 7 hour days.

Depends on what I'm planning on, but I've done a big road trip where the fun didn't really start until day 3. Our first day was about 550 miles and 8 hours on the road.

Once we got to our first real destination (Jackson, WY and Grand Teton National Park), we weren't really doing that much driving. And we tried to keep it simple where we had plenty of time and headed back to Jackson several times. One night, the best part was just getting back to the cabin and just enjoying the bottle of Scotch I bought in Jackson.

We had some slack in that trip though. We were visiting several national parks, so having exact dates for reservations in and near the parks was critical. If we hadn't had a reservation we'd either be stuck with no place to stay or would be paying extremely high rates. But sometimes we still improvised rather than drive really, really late at night on those roads. We managed to get a late reservation one place rather than drive 80 miles at 9 PM on some windy mountain roads. A few points I had no reservations but knew that there would be no issue finding a lodging stop for that particular night. And the end of the trip was open ended where I took extra vacation days and wasn't sure exactly where we'd stop along the way.

Early on I used to stop on drives to FL (about 16 hours of actual driving time) but soon shifted to non-stop trips. That second day, especially on the way home, just started feeling way too long for me.

 

[HeatherC]

Massachusetts to Florida…stop once overnight.

 

[mamamary]

I’ve never driven far enough for this to happen. Prob only driven maybe 6 hours at most. Would like to do a long trip one day but for now any long distances we just fly.

 

[RUDisney]

Back in the days when we couldn't afford airfare, my parents would stop in SC from PA on the way to FL. However, since speed limits have increased, I know that I could make the entire drive, by myself, in one day. On the way home, I'd need to break it up or have others who can take the wheel while I rest for a few hours. The farthest I've driven, so far, without a relief driver was 13 hours. I could have kept going, though, if we didn't arrive at our destination.

 

[Stratman50th]

Many years of driving from MD to Florida we would over nite in Kingsland GA. After that we'd push a little harder so we could visit family in Jacksonville. That was about 13 hours.
Funny, now that we have our RV the same trip I split up into 3 driving days.

 

[SandyinMonterey]

From GA to NJ and vice versa. Depending on what time we leave. We can do it in a day. It's long and tiring but it can be done.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Never have split up a trip just to split up a trip. Now we have had trips where we visited relatives on the way to other things. But that doesn't really count because we weren't making the visit to split up the trip. Same goes for visiting multiple state/national parks on a trip with an overnights. They don't really count because were weren't doing that to split up the trip. Rather it was the reverse. The split occurred because we wanted to see those places. The trip itself resulted in a split. We didn't split it.

 

[mrodgers]

Only once have I split a travel day into 2 days. Pittsburgh to Disney we stopped in Savannah for the night. Coming home we drove 19.5 hours straight through.
