Lagos-Cotonou-Lome-Aflao-Accra-Abidjan = Almost 2 days with stops at Accra and Lome and 2 hours at Aflao because my companions had Naija passports. grin grin grin

New York-NJ-Delaware-Maryland-Virginia-North Carolina-Atlanta = 11 Hours doing 85-95 MPH and ticket from a Maryland State Trooper. grin grin grin

But the longest as got to be
Madrid-Burgos-San Sebastien-Bordeaux-Paris-Leige-Cologne-Berlin = 36 hours with a stop in Paris

I drove from Chicago to Newyork to pick up my brother and both of us drove to L A for a friend wedding. Drove back to Chicago where my brother took a flight back to the Big Apple. It took us total of 7 days. Will never do it again. By the way , the truck (2012 Tahoe) was a gas gussler.

From Montreal PQ to Calgary AB... about 72 hours non-stop with 100km/hr speed in my Jaguar S-TYPE with v8 engine.

I think the distance was about 4800 km.

Oh I almost forgot, I was stopped and delayed for about 2 hours by this lazy rookie cop right after the city of Thunder Bay and got a ticket for about $180. (Threw that sh@t away immediately. ..lol)

Lagos to Burkina Faso.

The route was: Lagos >>>> Zaria >>>> Sokoto >>>> Niamey ( Niger) >>>> Ougadugu ( Burkina Faso)

It took us close to 48hrs because with stopped in all the major cities.

It was with a couple of friends ( undergraduate days)

A very interesting road trip.

Where has this adventurous side of me gone? angry

KA24DETT: Longest trip is Ottawa - Toronto - Calgary .( 3,403km) (2 days straight )
Went to visit my mom in Calgary . 1995 Nissan maxima, Car was a stick shift and my friend can't drive manual so I drove most of the way.
Drove through US, hitting Detroit -Wisconsin -Chicago -souh Dakota - Montana- Calgary . Went to a university party and picked up some girls, took them to their house and was nearly beaten up by her boyfriend who decided to pay a late night visit .
Got a speeding ticket in Dakota for going 200km/h.
Mom was scared and worried, was 21 so who cares.
Will definitely not do it again. But it was fun though .
I miss that Nissan maxima, so much memories.

What
If you go all the way on Highway #1 without going through USA that's about 4500km distance.

I'm sure gonna try to cut though Minnesota next time to save distances and gas!
