--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 29 Mar 2011, 18:00 ---The way I see it, 20-30 minutes to see a friend is acceptable, but it's considered a journey. Six Flags is 75 miles away (about an hour and a half in light traffic, I guess), but I've only gone there a few times in my life. I only make the hour (or so) drive to the beach once or twice a summer because, well, dude, that's really far.

I've got cousins in Cardiff, whom I see a couple of times a year. When I was younger going there involved a two hour car drive to the ferry port, three and a half hours on said ferry, waiting in the port on the other side for an hour for the train to arrive, with a further two hours on the train. All told, that was a 10 hour journey that began at 6am. I've done that journey to see rugby matches, going over the Friday, coming back the Sunday. (Before anyone says anything about flying over, this was before budget airlines and when flights were generally incredibly expensive, more so for two adults and two children). That was a distance of about 200 miles.
People, complain when its actually worth complaining about, like having to stay overnight at work because bad weather makes the journey longer, not when its "A 40 minute journey is so far out of my way." :roll:

I live in Texas. Where public transportation is a myth, the roads are made 90% pothole/10% broken car parts, and I have to drive 30 minutes just to go to school or buy food.
