Just wondering how far you ladies travel for work?
Is it highway? Backroads?
Re: How far is your commute?
me, its about 40 minutes in the morning, 25 minutes highway, about 15 backroads.
My commute home takes about an hour, when I pick up Luke 3 days a week at family my commute home is an 1 1/2
Without traffic (like yesterday or on some random Fridays) it can take 25 minutes, via highway. With traffic, more like 35-40 I think.
I tend to take the backroads home- it's a lot less hassle (plus I pass grocery stores). That takes me about 30 or so minutes.
Ummm....
4 miles.
If I go slow or get behind a bus, it's 10 minutes at the most. We built our house where we did because it's within 30 minutes of DH's work and close to mine for if/when we have a family.
35-45 minutes via bus (including wait time and walk to/from stops); 15-20 via car if someone drops me off do I don't have to find parking.

My commute: the time it takes me to walk downstairs in the morning.
DH's commute: 35ish miles, mostly highway, plus several minutes sitting in traffic waiting to get through the gate at the shipyard, plus another 15+ minute walk between where he parks and his office, so that's a good hour each way on a good day. When he changes jobs at the end of the month, he'll be working closer to the parking garage and he'll be able to work flex time again so he'll spend less time sitting in traffic. (I could throttle the dumbshiit in DC who decided to take away flex time for most of the shipyard several months ago. Trying to get 2000 people through 2 gates at the same time every morning and afternoon is assinine.) I like to think that someday we'll move somewhere a bit closer to DH's job and into a better school district, but I don't know when/if that will ever happen.
9 miles. 12 min. Main roads.
I got lucky...the hospital moved me to a satellite...which was coincidentally closer... 6 months after I began. It used to be 35 min in the winter and close to an hour during tourist season.

It takes me about 45 minutes whether I drop the boys off or not... because if I don't have to bring the boys, I leave later and I hit more shipyard/Pratt and Whitney traffic
My trip is down Routes 4 and 236, once I get out of Sanford
Ooh, I see this line up every morning on my way to work.
