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.
Do you mind explaining a little more? How do you get two days from 8 hours (8/2 + 7 = only 11 hours not 48)?
Edit: Oh, because nobody’s spending 8 hours traveling and then 11 hours at the place and then going back home without staying overnight.
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!
