I know that your car journey was a lot longer, but I have never been a good traveller and sitting in a car on the motorway in heavy and standstill traffic is horrible. I have to sit in the back as my son gets travel sick if he isn't in the front, and seat belts in the back tend to be in the wrong position, so I spend the whole journey holding it away from my neck. My son says I moan and complain about everything, and maybe I do!
