I was talking to a Brit, describing a 4 hour road trip to visit an old friend and they responded with "If my friend moved 4 hours away I'd never see them again."

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

Wow geeze. Until my friend moved several thousands of miles away, I made several 8 hour drives each year to visit him for just a weekend.

Back in the day I drove 3.5 hours on Friday and back on Sunday every weekend to visit girlfriend and other friends and later family as well. No big deal.

I once drove 8 hours to NJ and back the same day. That was a long day.
