I'm about 1350 miles away. We fly and get there in a few hours. We did make the drive once when I was a kid. We made frequent stops, two overnight stays, and it took two and a half days that way.
It's something I occasionally think about doing again, but my spoiled kids think it sounds like torture. I give them my "back in my day..." stories and they laugh and think they have it so much better, but those road trips were good times.
