    The size difference is getting to me too lol

    I used to drive a 200 mile round trip weekly to visit home while I was in college.

    Houston to East Texas is a fun drive.

      I had a german professor once remark to me about how different Americans are, like hundreds of miles is a day trip, hundreds of miles is a week long trip by car. Bet the trains are awesome though. Amtrak long distances seems way too expensive relative to my other options when factoring in time.

        “An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way; an American thinks a hundred years is a long time.”
