So in a two-week vacation you can do it with time to spare

Data geniuses have figured out what the ultimate U.S. road trip looks like

"If you didn’t sleep, stop or hit traffic, Olson calculates that this would take roughly 9.33 days of driving."

I used to work in a factory that closed for two weeks every summer, providing employees with what was called “standard vacation.” Everybody (except for a few maintenance people) and their assorted families took off a the same time. The week after standard vacation, the prevailing topic of conversation among the reassembled was “how far we drove."

“We packed a lunch every morning so we wouldn’t have to stop."

“We got up at 4:00 every morning and were on the road by 5:30."

"The wife kept wanting to stop and shop for antiques but I just kept driving."

This kind of trip would have been just the thing.
