I'm sorry but I work for a living. I don't get 3 months off I have at most 2 weeks to make my trip, usually only one week.
This year we are going to the Nashville area and it's a 671 mile trip. 1 day down 5 days there 1 day back.
I get what you're saying OP and like it, but I have to agree wit this poster. Most of us can't afford that kind of time!
I am a working stiff as well. It becomes more of a mindset to relax and take it easy vs. a marathon. I'm part of the rat race every day. Hurry here ,get there, stick to the schedule etc.
On vacation I prefer to slow down 671 miles is a 14 hour day why not cut it in 2 and stop for the night and chill out. Nashville will be there when you get there. You will be refreshed and relaxed vs. worn from the long drive.
Somewhere at the 350 mile point will be a nice spot,maybe with a pool that you can enjoy for the evening. Eat dinner at the CG and start out fresh.
I used to be a straight through marathon traveler, but eventually I realized that traveling continuously is too much like work.
I prefer 350 mile days and smelling the roses.
There is fun to be had along the way. The fun doesn't have to start in Nashville. There is fun to be had somewhere along the way.
Its more about your mindset vs. the amount of vacation time you have.
