I can't remember ever having to "holiday travel". And for the last 20 years I haven't driven more than 3 or 4 hours a day on any given day. I love road trips but I'm never in a hurry. If I need to be somewhere and it's further than a 3-hour drive, I will fly or take a train if possible and rent a car. Other than that, it will take me a few days to get there.
