How far will you go?

We only have about a 300 mile drive to Nashville which I know is nothing compared to what some people will be doing. I was wondering what kind of distances everyone else will be traveling to get to the convention.
If you don't know just go to Mapquest http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?bCTsettings=1
The address for the hotel is
2613 West End Ave
Nashville TN 37203

Driving Est. Time: 11 hours, 36 minutes
Flying Time is about 3hrs and 10min. not including the layover in Memphis which is for 1hr and 20min.
Total Est. Distance: 745.12 miles
Either way, I am glad I'm flying (sort of) because I don't think I could handle watching out for all the wacky stupid drivers on the road who are talkin on the phone, applying eye drops (yes, a lady actually was doing that while driving), and changing clothes for about 13 (13 if you figure in bathroom breaks and a nap) hours...hehehe

LMAO Mel! That's not what *I* heard!
Miles from my doorstep to Nashville 672.69 miles
Estimated driving time 10 hours 25 min....
BUT...
You have to add in stops at Mc Donald's,
a trip to the dog track,
guesstimated amounts of time for picking up good looking male hitchikers (Mom is gonna KILL me for saying THAT one~hee hee).
and "other" breaks...
We should be there on Wednesday....
