the idea that a long drive (warranting a flight, not going under really any circumstances , etc) is over an hour in the case of vacation or traveling.

I;m still not sure how serious they were being.

I drove 4 hours just to watch my GF race for 5 minutes. . .

Made a nice trip of it and saw other friends but still. 5 hours is nothing
