In the past we always drove from Wisconsin to Kentucky to my wife’s parents house. It was 800 miles one way and usually took us 14 hours.
Back wen I was in college in Minnesota, I traveled from Minnesota to San Francisco to visit my dad and his family. Distance was approx. 1,800 miles. Takes about 4 hours by air.
I traveled 2,995,9 miles from Boston to Long Beach Ca to meet my brother coming home from Viet Nam. We celebrated Christmas in CA
Denver to Milwaukee, approximately 1,000 miles by car, on Christmas Eve and into Christmas day, driving straight thru, listening to Christmas music on WLS on the car radio.
Which is second to London to Atlanta, 4,000 miles, when I was working there and came home for the holiday. West of it was that my bag with my presents for my wife and kids was stolen at the Atlanta airport, so I arrived home empty handed.

I have been to every state except alaska and hawaii. I have been to every canadian province. But the farthest I have ever traveled was from california to tenesee.what made it the farthest was the distance of my mothers heart to her families heart. She was running away from a very abusive male, my biological father. She was told to go back to california where she belonged. She was born there. It was en entire world away. Sad.

A trip by car to Los Angeles from Dallas
I remember occasional, long trips to spend holidays with relatives. As an adult, I’ve learned that “long” can be measured in ways other than hours. These trips were a treat, as we did things that we didn’t normally do, like eat in restaurants, stay up late and play “car games”. One of my fond memories of these trips was getting to hear different radio programs. I always hoped we could find “Mystery Theater of the Air”. To this day, I still love radio drama, books on tape and of course, “Coast to Coast”. I’ve also learned that how you spend the time you’re given, not the hours spent or the miles travelled, determines the quality of the holiday and the flavor of the memories.
