On a single non-stop drive, Daytona Beach to Boston MA - around 1,300 miles. I was a wreck at the end of the drive as I drove the entire way. We were coming home from a FL vacation and my wife was real sick. When I got to Washington DC and looked at her, I decided if we stopped at a hotel she would sleep all day the next day so I decided it was better just to get her home.

Longest driving vacation I took was with my parents back in the 70's, with camper and boat in tow. It was from boston to the southwest. In all covered around 11,000 miles in 5 weeks. We did another cross country trip that decade to the Pacific northwest, coming back along the Trans Canadian highway. Similar miles to the first trip.

CA to VA. Although MS to NH was a long one, too! We made stops along the way to go rafting and visiting family.

Moving back from California to Illinois by myself in my 20's in a big rental truck, with a dog, a cat, and towing my car. It took three days and was a brutal trip.

San Francisco to Washington, D.C. Don't remember how long it took. Several days with two drivers. Longest solo drive? Denver to Chicago and back again.

Road trip!!!!!!! MA to CA, then back partway to CO. There, I rented an apartment, flew back to MA, freighted my belongings to the new place, and flew to my new home in CO.

Longest continuous drive was from the Denver area to Missoula, MT, almost a thousand miles since I took a couple detours to look for a campsite (which I did not find).

Boston, MA to Lincoln, NE and back in a weekend. Three of us drove in shifts and only stopped for gas and a steak in Lincoln. I mostly went because they needed a third driver.
