My coin show travel tends to fall under 50 miles. Curmudgeons still run thick...mostly.

I don't go to coin shows, but I do visit Antique shops that sell coins - the farthest I went was to Fishguard in Wales UK. (from Phoenix AZ)
But I was 'in country' for other reasons too - but I 'did' travel there.

It's not entirely relevant to the discussion, but I timed my visit to London, Ontario in 2023 to coincide with the London Numismatic Society club meeting. I didn't travel 15,474 km just to attend a coin club meeting - but it was on the to-do list.
Well done.

I'm live in Northern Ontario and drove the the ANA's coin show in Philly and also flow to Orlando Florida for the Fun Show but that was about 20 years ago now.
There are NO coins shows in my area.

Sadly I've never been to a coin show. I need to change that. I'm sure there are plenty in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio but I don't hear much about that kind of thing here in Austin. Probably just not paying enough attention.

I've not attended many, all local, so 15 miles.

I live in southern California and I've flown to Florida FUN Show, Pittsburgh ANA, and Chicago ANA. Farthest I've driven was from San Antonio when I was living there to the Arlington (Dallas) TNA show, a little over 4 hours. I stayed a night or two and drove back.

I would recommend flying cross country to visit a major national show, either the ANA or a FUN show. It is worth every penny.
