Still thinking, “It’s just eight hours, we’ve totally got this”? That’s exactly what I said… right before one of my worst travel days ever.

This video breaks down how many miles you can actually drive in a day, without blowing past the fun stuff or arriving cranky and exhausted. You’ll learn baseline caps by road type, personal multipliers (kids, seasons, detour habits), anchor rules, and an energy rhythm that helps your trip feel like a vacation, not a commute.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
🚫 The “GPS Illusion” (and why that 4-hour estimate lies)
🛣️ How far you can really go on interstates, byways, and park roads
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Multipliers for families, seasons, and detour-happy travelers
📍 Why “anchors” (like tours or check-ins) should drive your mileage decisions
🔋 The 30·60·90 rhythm that keeps everyone from melting down
🧭Real-world day templates you can steal and tweak
📝 My 10-minute audit to check if your itinerary will actually work

💥 If your last trip left you saying, “We didn’t even get close to what we planned”… this one’s for you.
