Must be just an RI thing, none of the people I grew up with from
southern NH are that way.  We used to drive 5 hours one weekend a month
to go back and see people, after we moved to PA.

I used to do really well with moderately long drives.  Even 12-18 hours
was pretty comfortable.  Then we drove for ELEVEN DAYS across the
country, stopping to see sights and such, and now after about 30 minutes
in the car I start to go berzerk.  But I've got a bike (a real one, not
a motorized thing), so I can get anywhere within about 40 miles in just
2 hours.  Never get bothered doing that, there's always something to pay
attention to.
