Is it two hours driving on open roads/freeways with little traffic or
is it two hours of intensive driving in heavy traffic? It makes a big
difference.
Also young people tend to accept driving longer distances. Last week
my daughter and her family drove down to Cornwall for a long weekend.
Seven hours each way and they had good journeys but it wouldn't have
taken much to have made the journeys considerably longer. We wouldn't
want to drive that far for just two days.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a young French man who
was staying with me for a time. He lived a 2 hour drive away from a
family apartment on the Mediterranean, and a 6 hour drive from Paris.
They went to the apartment a couple of times a year and rarely to
Paris and he was quite shocked when I told him that Canadian young
people would drive into Paris for the weekend! Many Canadians will
drive 2 hours there and back _every_ weekend during the summer (or
winter) to a vacation home. I guess when you live in the world's 2nd
largest country and are spread out so much you get used to driving
great distances. When I was that boy's age, we drove from Calgary to
Vancouver for the weekend for a wedding. A 12 hour drive both ways!

A 1 hour drive to Vancouver where I will often go for dinner with my
parents.
