    I live a little north of NYC and have family my mom and I stay with in South Carolina. It’s a 740 mile drive, about 13 hours. with unpredictable traffic and rest stops it usually takes 15-19 hours (ntm it’s awful for the car and very mentally draining)

    Beijing to Wuhan looks to be a little under 4 hours on this map. They are 730 MILES APART

    next time we drive south i’m gonna spend the whole time yearning for an alternate universe where the trip is done at noon and we spend it watching a movie and appreciating the countryside dashing by instead of sitting in stop and go traffic in bumfuck virgina hoping we make it before 2am while evangelical billboards about the rapture loom over us
