[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 483703, member: 11791"] Let me get this straight... it was 2.5 hours [I]to get there[/I] in the first place, and obviously more than an hour's visit, and then [I]another 2.5 hours home?[/I] Like... 5 hours of driving? With an "event" in between??? (if that's not the scenario and I missed something, then ignore the rest of this post) Because... seriously, *I* would be insane before the day was half done. And I've got how many years of practice. We can handle road miles, OR an event, on any given day - but NOT BOTH. If we go at all (sometimes we do), we go the day before, and sleep over so that the "event" day doesn't include driving. And then usually stay over again and return the next day. OR... if its not an event but just a road trip... we do major miles every other day, with a break-day in between. Its the multiple-transitions thing that gets me, and difficult child, and to some extent the rest of our crew here. [/QUOTE]
