I just like to drive and look and can go for hours. We always keep granola bars and water in the car and have traveled all day just stopping at rest stops.

We just moved to Minnesota about 10 days ago,between Jan. 19th and Jan.31st we drove from South Carolina to Minnesota for our closing. Then from Minnesota to South Carolina to get our things packed and drove the penske truck back up to Minnesota...Way too much driving for me. My husband is afraid to fly so instead we go through this....lol

I get antsy after about 3 hours of driving,flying about 3 as well.

What is your "Are we there yet" limit? It's great DS isn't big enough to ask that every time we put him in the car

lol in other words how long can you sit in a car or on a plane before you get "antsy" and say either to yourself or out loud "Are we there yet"

The longest trip for me was 13 flight hours from Frankfurt to Singapore, two hours stopover there and the 4 more hours to Bangkok.

Extra credit if you tell us what "essentials for entertaining ones self" you drag along for the really long trips.
I entertained myself with lots of sleeping b/c my flight fear isn't as extreme then and I also watched a movie or two. When going by car I always take a book and lots of CDs.
