When they say its a long drive across the pond, they really mean it.
Longest I've done is Toronto to Montreal overnight though we took it in
turns
behind the wheel. Not sure I could have done it on my own in one go.

It's just over 300 miles, most of it on "open" expressway.

at 50mph that's 6 hours. **** easy for a one day drive
