    Had a friend from SE Asia that wanted to visit me in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She found a flight to Canada alright. To VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA. She asked if I could come pick her up if I wasn’t too busy.

        3? I had a few crewmates cross the country in about 5 and they said that was a gruelling task that they should have slowed down for.

          If you go through the US, Google Maps tells me about 56 hours, or 18-19 hours/day if you’re doing it in 3. If you go through Canada only, add about 3 hours. I think Google Maps estimates are a bit generous on time esp. if you’re comfortable exceeding the speed limit a bit, so maybe you could do it in 50 hours.

          It’s doable in 3, but it wouldn’t be fun at all. I’ve done 14+ hours driving in a day (so 4 days?), and it sucks, so yeah, 5 might be a bit too much as well.
