Driving considerable distances for a short visit is much more normal in
America than in England. We've just driven to Iowa for this past weekend to
see our son in his final college play, having been two weeks earlier to hear
his final choral concert, and going again in 3 weeks for graduation. It's
just over 4 hours each way. We tend to go on the Saturday morning and return
on Sunday.
We learn from friends that high school sports teams will drive to
neighbouring states for matches (up to about 6 hours away).
It looks as if he'll have a 30 hour drive to get to the prospective job in
California
