I live about 55 miles away from work. People always ask me how I can stand to drive so far every day. I just tell them that while they are sitting in traffic in town trying to get the kids to school and fight through to get to work, I'm breezing along at 70 mph. I leave my house at the same time as some of my co-workers and don't have to fight the traffic. That doesn't count though the frustrating times I'll get behind a huge tractor or 18 wheeler hauling some huge piece of equipment. Those times drive me crazy but it's definitely not a daily thing.
Now, if I didn't have to use so much gas to get to work it would be a great commute!
Enjoy your vacation!
