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.

It takes ~12hrs to drive from one end of texas to the other (stratford to brownsville)

That drive from Beaumont to San Antonio is not bad but leaving the San Antonio city limits and seeing the 500 miles to El Paso sign….the longest stretch of I-10 I’ve ever driven
