That's a bit much... unless you were trading off drivers...  I think the
farthest I've driven in one shot was Rochester (NY) to Raleigh...
stopped once for filling the gas tank...  I might do that again, given
fairly ideal circumstances otherwise...  :)

Depends on the definition of love...  ;)  Otherwise that's a misleading

about the only thing that is likely to stay consistent, even for the
long-term marriages... and that's what makes the difference...  ;)
