Lol.

Sure, I'll be there in 3 days, you'll probably want to get some food while you wait.

3? I had a few crewmates cross the country in about 5 and they said that was a gruelling task that they should have slowed down for.

If you go through the US, Google Maps tells me about 56 hours, or 18-19 hours/day if you're doing it in 3. If you go through Canada only, add about 3 hours. I think Google Maps estimates are a bit generous on time esp. if you're comfortable exceeding the speed limit a bit, so maybe you could do it in 50 hours.

It's doable in 3, but it wouldn't be fun at all. I've done 14+ hours driving in a day (so 4 days?), and it sucks, so yeah, 5 might be a bit too much as well.

The most I've done continuously is 12. No stops but for gas, visiting my GF at college decades ago.

I've done 18 with the kids in the car. We made it to Disney at sun up and I lost the first day being to tired to go to the damn park. The kids slept overnight, but my wife and I were cooked.
