re: Longest and Farthest Trip

I have driven on multi-day road trips from suburban New Orleans to:

-- Dallas/Big Bend National Park/San Antonio/Austin (2220 miles round trip)
-- Washington DC (2191 mile round trip)
-- Kansas City/St. Louis (2061 miles round trip)
-- St. Louis/Chicago/Memphis (1913 miles round trip)
-- Biltmore, Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte, Atlanta (1872 miles round trip)
-- Orlando/Miami/Tampa Bay (1816 miles round trip).
-- Cincinnati (1718 miles round trip)
-- Up north around Evansville, IN (1600 miles round trip)
-- Green Bay (one way back to New Orleans, 1141 miles over 2 days)

Longest single day drive was DC (actually Alexandria, VA) back home to New Orleans. Just over 1,000 miles.

When I was a kid we took a trip to visit family elsewhere and attractions that I think was about two weeks long, from Metairie to Mammoth Cave, Bardstown, KY, Cape Hatteras, and Six Flags in Atlanta. By my calculation the highway miles alone was over 2600 miles.
