I've asked this on the transportation board figure it will get more eyes here from guys. Kids had school obligations come up after the trip was booked and will fly out with mom and we'll all drive back together.
Am I crazy to consider driving Houston to Orlando solo in a day? It would be around 13-14 hours(965mi) actually at the wheel. I'd leave shortly after 6am to beat Houston morning rush and hit Baton Rouge after morning rush. Is late 40s me still thinking(trying to prove?) I can do what mid 20s me could do(other than mid 20s me would just call it a day at Biloxi for a night in the casinos)? Is the allure of not stopping every couple of hours for potty breaks, no refereeing fights, complete control over the music and temperature, and general peace and quiet going to my head? Or is this idea just a guy thing to do to to have done it?
If I do it, I can get to EP WS around 10-11am for food and beverages around the world on my own. Then RD at MK the next morning leaving around 3 pm to pick up the family at the airport. Also, I'll be hauling 5 peoples stuff for an 8 day stay so if I stop I have to unload and reload all that for overnight.
