You're Asking Yourself: Rhode Island to LA? That's a Big Leap, Literally!
Ever looked at a map and thought, "Man, I'd love a Dunkin' Donuts right about now"? Well, if you happen to be on the West Coast staring at the Pacific in dreamy Los Angeles and that craving hits, you might be in for a bit of a trek. Because let me tell you, Rhode Island, the tiny but mighty home of those delicious frosted rings, is about as far away as you can get in the continental US.
Coast to Coast, Coffee Fix to...Uh...Beach Bum Vibes?
We're talking over 2,900 miles (that's 4,700 kilometers for our metric friends). That's a journey that measured in Dunkin' Donuts would require, well, let's just say a whole lot of boxes. You'd need enough to build a fort strong enough to withstand a Rhode Island blizzard (which, let me tell you, those can be epic).
So, How Long Does It Take to Get Your Delux Donut Fix?
Now, you might be wondering, "If I hop in the car with a box of munchkins for the road trip, how long will it take?" Buckle up, because buckle up you will for a 40-ish hour drive. That's a lot of scenery, a lot of gas station stops, and a whole lot of time to contemplate the vastness of the United States. Maybe you could listen to all the audiobooks on your list?
Pro Tip: Don't forget to pack some actual food alongside those munchkins. A steady diet of donuts, while tempting, might not be the best fuel for a cross-country adventure. Your stomach (and your significant other) will thank you.
But Wait, There's More!
Of course, in this age of airplanes, who needs to drive? You can be whisked away from LA to Providence in about 6 hours. That's a movie, a nap, and maybe a complimentary beverage (if you're lucky) and you've arrived in the land of Delux Donuts and chowder. Just remember, that plane ticket might cost you a whole lot more than a dozen donuts.
The Moral of the Story?
Distance is a relative thing, especially when it comes to your deep-fried doughy desires. But hey, no matter how far you gotta go, there's a Dunkin' Donuts (or a local equivalent) waiting for you at the end of the road. Just pace yourself with those jelly-filled – you have a journey ahead of you!
