The longest drive I ever did was 22 hours...the longest total trip was from Augusta Georgia to Fairbanks Alaska. Dont remember how long the flights were total, but it was a tiring journey going and coming.

32 hours by plane from Houston, Texas to Singapore including layovers in Los Angeles and Hong Kong.
Then driving cross country from Seattle, Washington to Dallas, Texas. I think that took us 5 days but we stopped a few times to just hang out.

Well, my longest travel was like 48 hours... it should only have been like 38 hours... but some of the stop overs were about 2 hours... that was travelling from Manila to Cuba... we change planes 4 times... at first i was excited... but i was not able to sleep for most of that 48 hours... so it felt like hell when i arrived to my destination...

i dont know if this experience is counted for this. it was actually last year, summer time... we decided to go on a roadtrip. from manila, we went north up to pagudpud, then we went south to batangas. the drive is not continuous... we have several stop overs - sometimes, we would even stop for a day in a specific province.
for a continuous trip, the longest travel would be from manila to vigan 2 years ago.

sometime in 1993 or 1994, i came to manila for a vacation and went back to cebu. i took a sulpicio lines ship which i forgot the name. in the middle of sea, somebody from the ship crew announced that one of the two engines malfunctioned and we are going to have a longer travel... gosh, we arrived cebu after 24 hours on the waters...

I would have to say the longest travel we have taken would be when we would take vacation from Florida to Iowa which is about 15 - 20 hours in a car. That is a long trip to me. Also another long trip by plane is from Iowa to Hawaii. I can't remember how many hours that is cause it was about 28 years ago when went their. I am not a big one to travel by car for a long time.

my longest travel was from manila to baguio. i think it took us 6hrs. i loved the experience because i saw the beauty of our country. Travelling has been a passion but not really given a chance to do it often. :)

I have taken several very long trips that took a day or more. Unfortunately we didn't go far, these trips were usually delayed due to mechanical problems. The farthest I ever traveled at one time took 18 hours. We drove straight through, stopping to use the bathroom and fill the tanks, that's it. We drove from Fort Lauderdale Florida to Detroit Michigan. It was the most tiresme trip I've ever been on, since I was a driver.

the longest i went was on a plane for 10 hours i believe it was! I went to Maui Hawaii. It was a beautiful place i want to go back but i just dont have the money ! but the 10 hours was just a one way trip, so if you count going there and back about 20 hrs.

the longest hours i have travelled was when i went to the philipines which was about 21 hours on the plane. most of my travel just involves 4 ot 5 hours on the plane...never that long....but it was worth it. the philippines was really a nice country to visit to.

I have experienced traveling 36 hours from Davao to Naga City in Bicol. It was very tiring but full of fun. I liked traveling a lot especially in Philippines. I have traveled almost every part in Visayas already as well as in Mindanao.

The longest trip I've taken (so far) involved a Car journey to Dublin Airport from Newry,Northern Ireland,for a flight to Phoenix,Arizona,with a transfer in New York (JFK).During the time I was there,I took a bus trip up to the Grand Canyon! I think my longest road trip yet has been on a bus from London to the "Rock am Ring" Concerts at the Nurburgring,Germany,departing London on the Friday,travelling on a cross channel Ferry and driving through the night to arrive at the concert on the Saturday morning,then a trip to a nearby hotel (Bonn) for Saturday night,return to the concert on the Sunday,and getting back on the bus Sunday night for the return trip to London arriving back there on the Monday afternoon!

Opps!!! it is the most hectic one. Quiet a couple of months ago, I traveled from Calcutta to Kalka by train, it takes 32 hours, and then I take a break, ate something,and then prepare for my next time demanding journey By a car to Saharan( a small village in the foothills of Himalayas),which takes 8 hours .So, you can imagine how fresh I was after such a long travel!!!
