1. I think your own health and ability to travel are the more important factors.

3. 800-1000
Anything that takes more than a day of driving time.

4. I drove 700 to see my mother, sister and friends....
...although that is a pretty rare occurrence for me.

200 can be too much. or a 1000 not to much if you enjoy it, have the time, money and desire.

300 is a five hour drive and nothing for me.

my brother is in town and totally fucked up. he lives about 30 minutes away. i dont visit him. it isnt comfortable. i will talk to him on the phone
