How far away from family do you live? (discuss.online)

The US tends to be a lot more spread out than Europe and the rest of the world. It seems like we're also more likely to move long distances for jobs and the like.

I'm pretty close to most family, 10 to 40 minute drives for everyone that doesn't live out of state

oh please, 2 days, for a measly 10 hour drive? that can't be further than 700 miles, lol. I make a 15 hour drive (~roughly 980miles) yearly for our family Xmas get together. ~~granted that IS mostly just all flat land and pastures but still, put on an audiobook or two and you're there before the second one ends lol~~
