As for as I am concerned, I have travelled in a conducted tour bus continuously for six days stopping in between to visit temples and site seeing places of four states i.e. Karnataka, Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala of India and we have covered about 45 temples and few site seeing places in between. Two days we had even night travel. How about you, what is the longest journey you have undertaken?

I just came back from a 3,000 mile trip by car. My wife thanks most of it was being lost. I have traveled to the middle of Mexico from Colorado. Some of it was by plane.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Such a long distance really. Hope the weather was good and you enjoyed the journey everywhere. I did not follow your second sentence, 'my wife...... I am sorry for not understanding.


myLot reputation of 88/100. lotterylover (4841)   ranked 73 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

My wife did most of the driving and she kept getting lost and not being able to find the house we were going to as things changed so much from 40ty years ago. She felt most of our miles were put on the car because of being lost. Our second day into the trip it rained all the way and we had to go under 65 so the windshield wipers would work. We did feel fortunate anyway as on that day it rained two accidents happened just after we had passed that area.

Got it. I am happy by God's grace you came back safe. Each journey is an experience I feel.


myLot reputation of 97/100. JamesKYTan (534)   ranked 506 out of 653 in traveled  2 months ago

3000 miles by car is a long journey. The most I drove by car alone was 500-600 miles.
I am a salesman. So I drive most of the time.

That's impressive, even with stops I think six days is too much, the longest travel I remembered that I did was only for 12 hours on a bus also and I can't really stand remaining seated the whole time so I have to stand up once in a while to ease the pain in my butt.:)


myLot reputation of 94/100. Lucky09 (767)   ranked 469 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

lol, i had the same thing with you...sitting for 12hours makes me uncomfortable and my butt was so painful i just wanted to stand but too tired to do itw00t

Hi Lucky
Your avatar is very interesting. From where did you get it?


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Even for me it was paining. Whenever the bus stopped for visit, I could not immediately get up and walk. After coming back I fell sick for one full month with severe hip pain, high fever and chest cold due to different water and different weather. Now I decided not to travel like that. May be I am too weak to bear the strain.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Lucky09 (767)   ranked 469 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

i have never been so complaining about long travels but just my butt and sometimes legs are also uncomfortable and it's unbearable. anyway, i just can't stand more if the road is rough and we are like being juggled and tossed lolw00t


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Very true Lucky. In fact I started thinking when I will reach my home, than enjoying the trip. Your avatar is too good I say. I like it.

When i was in Gaziabad, and have to come to my home town, I have to travel two nights and one day if i travel by GT Express, or Two days and one night if i travel by Tamilnadu Express and I think that is the longest jouorney i have ever made.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Yes it is a long journey. When I travelled from Varanasi to Chennai, it was two nights and one and a half days. First day we did not get sleeper and had to sit through the night. It was horrible journey for all of us.

With some friends from Japan, with my family we travel by car from Manila to Baguio, to Banaue rice teraces, to Cagayan Valley, to Pagudpud Ilocos Norte, to Narvacan Beach, to Santa Lucia Ilocos Sur, and back to Manila. The tour took 4 days but it was an enjoyable trip.LOL


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

While reading itself it looks so amused. I am sure you would have enjoyed well. We need such trips now and then to relax ourselves is it not?


myLot reputation of 69/100. edujccz (540)   ranked 476 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

when you go for a journey it is really relaxing however at that time i was the driver and i tell you i was so tired, during the last leg of travel I was so sleepy and i happened to hit a crowd of carabao crossing the road, gladly only the bumper was damage and my companions was so nervous instead. but everybody was okay, LOL.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Be careful friend, Especially the person who is driving should take good rest in between. All the lives are in your hand.

myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Just like occupational hazard it is journey hazard. Even for me legs were swollen when I had six days trip.

Hi Buchi,

My longest journey is from Kerala to Delhi in train (reach in Delhi on third day). I was very excited to seen the different places on my first journey. You too know that Kerala Express is crossing through many Indian states so the journey is really an exciting one all the time. On every visit to my native place, I really enjoying the train journey, because there is no tension about house hold works, office works etc. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Very true Srikala, this relief from house work and office work is great. Not that we do not want to work but we need a change in between from this monotonous work.

Hello Buchi_bulla. The longest journey I travelled is about 20 hours ride on the train many years ago when the service was not as good. Year by year the train speed has been increased. Now it takes me only twelve hours on an express train between my hometown and my workplace. Of course, if I take a plane, it is only 1.3 hours. I still miss the two flights I have ever had in the past few years.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 18 out of 653 in traveled  3 months ago

Was that 20 hours journey day journey or night journey? If it is night journey, we can spend many hours sleeping or at least lie down and take rest. If it is day journey, then whole journey we have to be awake and sit and travel.
