    Laughs in Canadian.

    My longest single day non-stop drive was around 18 hours… Never even left the province. The flight alternative required me chartering my own plane and would have cost many many thousands of dollars more, so I went with driving as it was the cheapest option.

      As a European, these distances are mind-boggling. If I drive 18 hours, I can drive through half a dozen countries (or more, if you optimize for that) and easily get from the Baltic sea to the Mediterranean sea.

        Don’t worry, I expect to see North America to be similar, barring climate extinction.

      Took me 13 hours to drive from Vancouver to Canmore Alberta, 13 hours to drive from Canmore to Kenora Ontario, 13 hours to drive from Kenora to Saults Saint Marie, and 7 more to get to Toronto.

      Managed to cut it down to 18 hours straight to get the hell out of Ontario.
