What's the furthest you travelled for shortest time at destination?

So, how far / long have you travelled for a relatively short period of time? What's your general rule of thumb on what you'll spend / how long per distance / time away? Do you change your boundaries depending on method of travel, e.g. car, train or plane? I'm not talking about work activity where you get sent to Australia or New Zealand for a day or two of work, but personal trips. I have nine days alone while wife and daughter are away, and I'm off work next week. While my wife's trip was somewhat an unplanned necessity, I'm kind of regretting not going and debating getting a flight to Latin America on Friday night for a week in country! I do have plans, and the time alone will be great, but a week in the sun with delicious food is also appealing.
