Long Trip

The longet that I traveled was 14 hours from Manila to Bicol/Sorsogon. I went with my bf and his family there to have a vacation . . even if its too tiring. . ive had a lot of fun!!! ^_^

The longest trip I've taken was driving from Maryland to Colorado. It usually took 3 days, but we could do it in 2 if we took turns driving/sleeping in the car. The last time we drove it was very funny because a month or so later we took a 5 hour drive to my brother's and my nephew kept asking how much longer. The first time he asked we were barely on the road and I told him it would be about 4 more hours. My son pipes up and says "We're almost there!" After being in the car for a 3 day stretch, 4 hours IS almost there!

God morning torchablazed, I do not like to travel at all. I never take trips more than one hour long. It is by far a long time since I did take a trip at all. The last trip I made was wiht my son to a zoo in a town near by where we live. I am a home person, so I rather stay home than take trips.

Hi torchblazed! Oh my that is exhausting and I hope you had enough rest now. The longest travel time I had was 26 hours with a stop over of two hours on a flight from Great Britain to the Philippines. I usually bring a nice book with me when I travel long hours and when my eyes get tired from the reading, I listen to my favorite music/songs. Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

I rarely have such a long trip in my life. I guess maybe some music or audio book will be fine for your trip. Also, you can try to have a chat with the person who sit beside you. That's the way how to make friends. Haha.

if i had to stay in a car that long you would have to carry me to the funny farm on thew way.

Well i have never been on as long a trip as you but when I do go on a trip and it is a few hours away I take a crossword book with me or a mobile game, it keeps my mind occupied...littleowl

The last long trip I took was when I moved from Arizona to Ohio. I drove my car and took my two dogs with me. I was so very tired after 3 days of driving!! I listened to the radio and talked to the dogs. At night we stayed at motels and watched tv a little but mostly just slept a few hours before hitting the road again.

Twenty Nine Hours??? That is very long a travel! The longest travel by land that I experienced is when I went to Sorsogon, Sorsogon and we travelled almost 12 hours. I could imagine how exhausted you could really be be with the 29 hours of travel you had! Imagine I almost lost my mind with the 12 hour trip I had in Sorsogon. We went there one Holy Week and it so happened that we encountered processions along the way and that really delayed us even more. I was freaked and was blaming why those processions had to be done in the national road. Ha!ha!ha! It is okay with me if to have long travel for as long as the travel is smooth and no traffic jam. Traffic jam could really freak me out. Imagine I already read all books and magazines I brought along but we have not reached our destination. We already finished all our food ("baon" ) but still the place was still far away. We already went out of stories to tell each other and slept the longest we could but the place remained unreached. How terrible! I really wished I brought along my laptop but I did not and I really regretted it. Anyway, when we reached the place all the hardships and annoyances were forgotten. It was a very nice place to stay and we really had a wonderful time. I am going back to that place again if given the chance but I will make sure my laptop will be in my luggage.

Wow - a 29-hour road trip is huge! By the time you arrive, you must need a very long sleep to get over it. I haven't been on a long trip for a while - the longest was only four hours in a plane. My daughter drove over 4000kms by herself a few years ago to get to her first Air Force posting - but she stopped each night at a motel to get some proper rest, so the trip took a few days. The RAAF would have sent her car by road transport so she could have flown there - but she was looking forward to the road trip adventure and preferred to drive.

The longest trip I had was of 40 hours and that too by railways. The longest one by air was 14 hours. These long journeys are really hectic and with good company you enjoy these things but when you are alone you tend to hate these things. So I try and have company while going for such huge trips.

You did have a long trip, didn't you? Most of my long trips were either when I was a child, so I did the typical child on a long trip things; or on a plane. If you've ever traveled by plane, you know how involved they can be.

Hello torchablazed! I also spent my holiday with my family who is away from me. I have to ride a bus and I travelled 7 hours with just sitting all the time. I have a very good holiday and now I am back here doing things I usually do.

Hi, torchablazed I used to study in a school seven hours (by land) from home. I did not really like the city where the school was located so I came home as much as I can. At first, before hopping on the bus I make sure I have water, biscuits, a book and a walkman (no ipods yet!) to keep me occupied. I would also take pictures of the scenery. But as months went by, I have gotten so bored with the seven hour trip the novelty wore off, that I would just hop on the bus, and sleep until I reach my destination. Have a nice day!

A twenty nine hour trip is ever so long and tiring. Hopefully during the day time you saw lots of good scenery. I traveled by train from Cairns to Brisbane and it took 36 hours. I looked out the window, played music on my personal stereo and chatted to a few people. I met my the man the was going to become my husband on that journey in the club loco car. We are now divorced though.

I don't think I have ever travelled 29 hours to get any where before, but I reckon it would be a good time to catch up on some sleep! lol. I hope you aren't too worn out after your holiday.

That was a long trip, I don't think I've ever taken one that long. When we do travel, I bring things to do, like a good book, or magazine to read, I like playing solitaire, so I bring that game along, we mostly travel in the car, so I make sure I bring my favorite CD's to listen to in the car, that helps pass the time, as I'm singing my head off going down the road...lol.

every year,i must take about twenty hours to come back home from beijing which i am working at now. it is really a long trip.every time i am very tired.

I love to take long trips and during those days i just keep meeting new peoples and keep sharing with them about the life days they make and enjoy and challenges they face..And really its help me inknowing the habit,culture and ways of living by speaking with different minds...Happy mylotting

Ok, this trip wasn't exactly that long, although it took us 2 days to get to my daughter's house in Hampton, Va. I went to visit my daughter whose husband is in Iraq so she would have been alone for Christmas. I drove there with my ex-husband and 2 teenage granddaughters. It was an interesting trip because my ex-husband, complains about everyone that drives. He is the only person in the world that knows how to drive (or so he thinks, personally, he scares me a bit with his driving). He yells at everyone. He tells them that they are in the wrong lane, they need to move over when traffic is merging and everything else you can imagine. Laughing at him was one way that the rest of us were amused. We also ran into some bad weather and he kept saying over, and over, and over, "I knew it, we shouldn't have come." One of my granddaughters is 17 and was helping with the driving. We took my ex-husbands car and he had never seen my granddaughter drive before so he was really nervous about that for awhile until he saw that she was doing fine. He finally went to sleep. I listened to music and talked with the kids alot. The other granddaughter brought a nintendo ds along to keep her busy, and she brought colored pencils and a sketchpad and books. She was pretty quite for the most part. We did have a bit of a problem on the way back. The keys got locked in the car while we stopped for gas. That was a fiasco. My ex-husband was ranting and raving forever it seemed. He wouldn't call the police to try to help because said that they wouldn't be able to get into the car. I would have tried but.... it was his car. So the girls and I went to eat at the subway there while he called a Chevy dealer to make him a new key. Then, of course, he tried to get a taxi but the only taxi number in the book was a disconnected number. Finally, one of the managers working at the gas station offered to drive him over to pick up the key since the Chevy dealer had no one available to bring it to us. We spent about 2 hours at the gas station. That was fun! Anyway, it was great visiting with my daughter and my ex-husband said that next time we should fly there and rent a car. In case you are wondering, we have been happily divorced for 20 years now. He's not really healthy enough to travel on his own but we have maintained a friendship and have gone places together many times.
