Would you want to stay for at least X hours? 2X? 4X? Something else?

X/2+7 is like the 80-20 rule: it fits 80% of the time.

Given a travel time of X, half that time plus 7 more hours seems reasonable, until it isn't. 1 hour? Full day. 2 hours? Also a full day. 8 hours? Now were talking 2 days with an overnight expense and 80% per diem.

Math. It works.

Isn't that also the equation for finding your youngest possible date? I'm 27 and according to that my lower limit is 20.5.

It's like the 80-20 rule, I say!
