How Far Will You Drive?

[tribbles]

We don't count miles but hours....avg is 30-60 minutes (one way) to where we often go, furtherest was 4 hours one way. That is rare although in good weather, 2 hours one way is acceptable for us.

Normally, we only go 7.2 miles to the club. I don't like to travel.

As if you went to Montreal to meet me....lol. That was just a lucky coincidence.

I voted for 200 miles because it would be for a long weekend with the Mrs and the fact that we probably lessen the chances of being 'outed'

It was lucky because it was Hockey Season!

I'd say no more than 1.5 hours. No point in meeting great people if it's too inconvenient to get together.

Well, so far we haven't traveled more than a couple of thousand miles to meet someone. Lee has us beat though, we only had to go to Memphis to meet Julie.

Except to meet face to face with the great people on this board for the meet-ups, and with the additional exception of a very few play partners that are so fun that it is well worth traveling completely across the US to play with them, we generally don't travel much further than the local clubs, about 5 miles.

We voted less than 60. That's only for play partners though.

Our current play partners are 300 miles away and it's worth every minute of the drive. Although it helps when we can meet in the middle.

[nicerrtxcple]

we'll go up to 200 for around here

The question was how far we'd drive to meet a couple or visit a club, but our answers to each of these is quite different. We answered the poll for "visit a club" - up to 500 miles. We've gone as far as about 300 miles to visit a club on a big weekend event, but we only make those trips very occasionally.

This summer, we're going to a swingers board meet-up that will be at least 250 miles from home. Others will be coming from much farther than that.

To meet a couple that we've connected with from a website? No, for us it's locals, only. We wouldn't go that far just to meet people whom we don't know if we're going to connect with in person (personality, vibe, etc). It's just way too far for that!

We have, too - especially about 220 miles away in Atlanta, where there are a lot more swingers than we have down here. It just doesn't happen....it's just too far.

After having a more than two-hour commute for several years, the prospect of driving up to 200 miles is nothing to me (our favorite club is about 180 miles away, too). So I answered 200 or less. I can't see going 500 miles, but who knows? Under some sort of circumstances, I might consider it. We both like road trips anyway.

Edit: after reading Tybee's post, I'd have to say I totally agree--we'd drive a lot farther to a club than to meet just one couple.

And we thought we were the only ones. We regularly drive to New York City (250 miles) to visit clubs there and fly 1000 miles to the Miami area to see friends, party, and go to clubs there. However, the most we have traveled was 3000 miles (we flew) to the West Coast and had a fantastic MFM with a guy there. They were all worth it!
