You apparently don't live in the US, or at least not in the midwest. I know a lot of people who do trips longer than that. Many Canadians out in the middle do similar trips as well (well there are not many Canadians living in that part of the country, but the ones who are there do it)

I do that, can be fun, there is so much to see on the way. Drove last Christmas from Riverside county to Bisbee, AZ and back via San Diego.

During COVID, I drove 24 hours to Florida. Longest stint of driving was 16 hours.

With family 750 miles away and a dog that doesn’t fit into a pax cabin carrier, we do it at least once and sometimes twice a year.

It’s a two pit-stop trip now that the kids are older; it used to be 4-5 stops when they were little.
