When I tell American that it takes 6 hours of highway driving to leave my state they are flabbergasted. after 4 hours they might be in the same part of the country but they have probably crossed a few state lines.
Must be talking to east coasters, because there are plenty of US states where that's the case. My state is about 11 hours tall, and 4 hours wide.
A six hour drive is commonly just referred to as going up north for a long weekend.
Thank you for giving me my new default. This party mix of measuring systems sounds way more infuriating to tell people than "about five and a half CDs."
