from Charlotte, NC to my father-in-laws place in Cocoa Beach, Florida. It's about 550+ miles and it's not too hard, at all.

Just sit there listening to XM radio. Wife reading her Kindle and 2 dogs sleeping in the back seat.

Worst part is stopping at Fla/Ga border for gas knowing there's 2 1/2 more hours to drive and really wanting a beer.

Nothing very sporting about that, IMO.
