I make a trip from Cali to Nebraska (>1500 miles) four or five times a year, straight through each time there and back, anywhere from 21 to 24 hours one way. You guys are pansies. After the sixth hour, it's just a controlled nap, and nothing to write home about.

Books on tape rock too. I wish the big chain book stores carried more English classics though.

I like the controlled nap, I couldn't agree more. Long drives can be calming and recently I found the best thing to do is turn off your cell phone. Although, my girlfriend thought I died after leaving 3 messages and not hearing from me.

Never got into the books on tape and I've never heard a bad thing about them, I just can't bring myself to do it.
