About 1050 miles in one day, 1500 in a day and a half.
It was because of 9/11. I was in San Antonio, Texas for a 2 day seminar/class on Mon & Tues. I was supposed to fly back home Wed AM, but 9/11 happened and all civilian aircraft were grounded for more than a day. Well, most people flew in, so we couldn’t leave and others couldn’t get there so most of us stayed for another 2 days of classes. I still couldn’t even get through by phone to the airline on Thurs afternoon, so I wasn’t going to be able to fly home anytime soon.
After we finished that Thursday, I got into a rental car (maybe 5 PM) and drove to Texarkana on the Texas/Arkansas state line (about 450 miles) and got a hotel room for about 4 hours. Lost one hour due to time zone change, got up, drove the 1050 miles or so home to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Got in around midnight Friday.
