I get that from other people in the US sometimes, too. I live in Los Angeles county, and when people come from other places to visit they often think they can see way more things in one day than is reasonably feasible. Santa Barbara and San Diego are like 200 miles apart and it's going to take 5 or 6 hours from one to the other. The Hollywood sign and Disneyland are 30+ miles apart and a good hour separate.

I live in Jacksonville, FL and people overseas often think I'm right next door to Miami because it's also in Florida. It's a six hour drive!

Well Jacksonville is the biggest city on the US Mainland, and the most populous city in Florida, its easy to see the confusion.

I grew up in SoCal and this is why I have barely ever been anywhere. It's dense enough around here.
