So, how far do you have to drive before it is considered to have become a "road trip"? I drive 1400km one way to go on holiday here in Europe and generally, when State side on holiday around 1000km from airport to destination?

I drive 1400 miles between homes a couple of times a year, does that count?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Travelling to a holiday location or a 2nd home isn't a Road Trip!! It just means you have to get somewhere and thus it's just plain travelling.. Going somewhere just for the sake of it and crossing borders/state lines qualifies as a road trip! In Example driving from Holland ( Coast) To Milan and back just for the sake of getting lottery tickets! ( Milan was really nice for the entire 2 hours...)

I heard someone say here that they drove huge distances just to get Pizza.... now that is a roadtrip! ( or a very remote area)

I think a road trip is when you don't have a timeline or a plan. Or a known destination. In the late 80's I set out in a customized van and headed south intending to drive untill I could take my shirt off. (Warmth) I ended up gone for six weeks. I visited New Orleans during Mardi Gras and headed west along the southwestern coast of US. Saw the Alimo, Grand canyon, and tons of other attractions as I headed north up the west coast and back towards the east after I hit Seattle. 8000+ miles. I'll never be able to do that again.. but I am glad, at least, I did it once. Wink

Technically, it can be called a road trip if you ride for any distance on road(s) but, more specifically, an unplanned trip of some distance; the ride to out of town team games are also called road trips.
