Driving time
When traveling, how many hours per day do you drive before you lay up for a rest period?

If we are heading south in winter months we tend to put on the miles till we get into warmer climes so can do 12 hour driving day and second day get to stop mid afternoon/early evening latest.
When we are just mooching around from one location to another exploring, can end up doing stops and starts every few miles on secondary roads.
Coming home if mainly freeway driving and nothing of interest will tend to do one or two longer days.
When we headed to Florida straight did solid long driving days with breaks for meals and gasoline only over 4 days to get there to meet a deadline. Coming back took 6 weeks stopping and starting at look see locations and that wasn't long enough either!
Distance depends on what our goals are at the time. Now the chronological clock is challenging us, we are noticing we drive less with more breaks enroute even when further destination bound.
