How far to travel with only 2 weeks vacation time/year

I have seen this many times in numerous threads and I find it very interesting how people's opinions differ. So I thought I'd do a quick poll and see what everyone thinks. We plan to go 1800 miles...

I f you average 50 miles an hour when actually on the road you will be behind the wheel for 72 hours. Then you add on time for fuel breaks,potty breaks,lunch breaks,doggy breaks. Depending on your habits,number of children I can easily see that adding up to 1 to 1 and 1 /4 hours per day.
So actually driving 8-9 hours per day with 1 hour for breaks it will be 8-9 days just behind the wheel. Doesn't leave too many days for real vacation time activity.
