Ghost driving?

My longest driving was also just 17 hours. From 3AM to 8PM. The normal travel time had been less than 15 hours but I needed some detours to get more CHM mileage in NE Hungary and around Vienna back then :D
I only slept one or two hours the last nights before the trip. Thus I was quite tired and almost felt asleep after six hours of driving. A 10 minute power nap saved me and the rest of the day went well.
I would never do such a trip again! A relaxed elven-hours-trip like last Saturday is enough :D

Longest continuous road trip for me with no meal breaks was 20 hours but I only drove half of that. Eastern DC suburbs to Minneapolis. Left at 11 PM Eastern, arrived 6 PM Central (thus 7 PM Eastern) the next day. We would drive for 2 hours, take a short break, drive 2 hours more, take a slightly longer pit stop and switch drivers. Lather, rinse, repeat. We got caught in traffic because we went too close to Chicago. Oops.

Longest single-stretch solo drive was Fargo, ND, to eastern DC suburbs, which was a longer trip but involved meal breaks of over an hour, whereas the above drive had no break longer than 15 minutes.
