history: A while back I decided to move from Florida to California and wanted to drive. I have driven West to East, but never the other way. I knew I could do it though - just take my time and enjoy the trip! A while ago I drove from Florida to Northern California. It's a long trip_comma_ but I knew I could do it just fine.
current: That is a long trip.  Did you do it all in one go or did you take breaks?
next: It took about 5 days. I would drive a few hours and stop for the night. I'd already made the trip from West to East, so kind of knew what I was doing.
