Remember family trips when you were waiting in the back seat for mom or dad to finally pull off the Interstate for the night (and hoping for a motel with a pool)?

Well, here are the stretches of Interstate and other limited-access highways in the U.S. with the longest gaps between exits from the road.

Surprisingly, the list is NOT dominated by places such as remote corners of the Nevada desert.

In fact, Florida -- not Nevada or California -- has five of the top 16. And No.1 is Florida state Route 91, the Florida Turnpike, which bills itself as "The Less Stressway." It's also the only non-Interstate route among the limited-access highways on the list.

Pennsylvania is second with three. And toll roads dominate the list.

According to TomTom, the portable GPS navigation system maker, here are the 16 longest distances between freeway exits in the USA:
