This is actually pretty similar to what some coworkers visiting from EU wanted to do.

They were here on a two week work trip and I asked them what they were doing for their weekend. It was something like "We rented a car and are going to go to New Orleans, then to Nashville, up to New York City, over to the Grand canyon, and maybe San Francisco if we have time before we head back to the office"

I had to explain that the state we were in was larger than their country and they couldn't cover that much ground in two days even if they only drove and didn't stop once.

We had a good laugh and then just did a hike on Saturday :)

Edit : "in Europe 100km is a long distance and in the US 100 years is a long time". Forget where I heard that but it seems accurate
