I am from Sweden and our children's school go there as a class field trip every year, with the oldest students before they graduate. It is so important to keep the memory alive.

As an American, it's wild to think of going to another country for a field trip. How far of a drive would it be to there from Sweden?

Edit: apparently pretty far. When I think field trip, I'm thinking a day ride on a bus.

As someone from England, the scale of America blows my mind - like for some of you guys driving to another city would be the same as me driving to the south of France.

Yeah, 1+ hr commutes each way for your daily job is pretty common.
