In my youth I would often make the 5.5 hour drive home without stopping. No way now. I need to get out and stretch at least once on that drive.

I got over roadtrips in my 20s, after some 12-24 hour straight through voyages.

i try to drive at least a few hours before stopping, but i also try to stay hydrated.Monkey_Driven wrote:How often do you people need to stop to pee? I can easily go 2-4 hours depending on how much I've had to drink.
whenever we go visit my wife's family in Kansas City, which is about a 4.5 hour drive, I try to drive straight through. Sometimes my bladder has other plans.

Re: Admit Something
We’re driving 12 hours each way up to Connecticut over the holidays, with five of us in the car. The rule is that if we stop for gas or for someone to pee, everyone has to go even if they don’t have to at the moment.
