A five hour drive

I have a five hour drive on Monday and I am pretty much dreading it.
By the end of it my eyes will be so sore and my back will be achy. I hate having to drive long distances really, and I'm always torn between trying to get there as quick as I can, against just taking it nice and steady.
Oh well it will be worth it when we get there.
Do you like driving ?

What a long time driving! I remembered that one time, my bf drove 3 hours way home from a tourist city, I nearly got mad while just sitting at passenger's seat for 3 hours..

Thank you
I will stop for a break at some point just so I do not get tired and distracted

Actually, I have never had a Drivers license, and for the most part now do not regret it. I am 53 yrs old and cannot imagine starting to drive now, nor could we afford the extra gas if I did drive or a second car. But when driving places it does seem like it can take a while... that is why for most super long trips anymore it is better to fly.

@krausehome but I hate flying even more!!

I like driving. Can you take some breaks along the way though so it doesn't seem so stressful?

Yes @snowy22315 I might have to stop half the way just to have a little rest and stretch my legs.

I'm sorry you will have such a long drive. I do not drive at all, way too scared and I freeze up behind the wheel.

I don't mind it, but yeah, long distance driving would not be something that I'd like to do anymore these days... My husband is also starting to prefer the passenger seat lately - he'd let me or one of our sons drive whenever he can get away with not driving...

Not especially but I do most of the daily driving these days.

I used to love the thrill of driving. Now a 5 hour drive means that I get out and stretch every hour or so. I sure hope you have a good time when you get there and aren't too consumed by the thought of having to do it again in order to get home. Safe travels!

I found when having to make a long drive it's best to make sure you have a comfortable seat. My current vehicle is amazing on long drives it's so comfortable and relaxing. When we take my husbands truck it's not as comfortable I usually bring my knitting needles or crochet hook with me to keep me busy so I don't focus on the drive.
