Miami to San Francisco by plane. On foot, walked from Redwood City, CA across the Dumbarton Bridge all the way to the Fremont BART Station (about 20 miles), took the BART to Berkeley and walked around the city for about 12 hours in the span of one freakin' day. Amazing. Also took a train from Champaign, IL to DeLand, FL (about 1000 miles) and a bus from Louisville, KY to Key Largo, FL (over 1k miles). All in all been on quite a few solo adventures myself.
Hmm, not sure if it counts since I met up with family and did a tour with people (though I didn't know anyone when I joined it), but it would be my trip last year.
Went from Christchurch (New Zealand) to Reykjavik (Iceland) via Auckland, San Francisco and Paris.
Then I did one of those coach tours around Europe from London (12 countries 22 days).
Coming back I went from London to Tokyo (for a week) before coming back to NZ.
Overall an awesome 2 months.

I currently live in Texas and I usually wind up in Vegas (1050 miles) once a year on a business trip. Several years ago I wound up traveling to Glastonbury, CT (1850 miles) for a week for some training that I've mostly forgotten. Rarely do I travel for vacation by myself though I might have something in March. Last time I did a vacation travel alone it was to Blizzcon 2009 but I was meeting people there so it doesn't really count.
On my own; not far at all. Can't imagine it being more than a couple of miles(non-American ones). Never left Stockholm all by myself.
Without family the longest trip would be to Latvia last year, on a cruise. That distance would be 443 km. On a road trip recently with my family I drove ~1430 km in a day. Took 18 hours iirc. It was pitch black and raining almost the entire time. My ass and hands got sore as hell.
So yeah, quite off topic. Just wanted to contribute a bit more.

From Sydney Australia to Orlando Florida, yeah that was quite an experience. First time as well, can't say I do things by half means lol. Although seeing the shuttle launch and then going to DC and seeing the air and space museum was so worth it, strangeness of the US not withstanding. The US had an uncanny valley effect, it looked a lot like Australia but the language and other small things like what side of the road you drive (the wrong side 
) gave a strange vibe. Also was very strange to be searched when entering a museum or Disneyland, over here we don't have any of that and honestly I can see why some American's feel oppressed :-/
Nice place to visit but I'd never live there as it is now.

My longest drive so far has been from eastern Oklahoma to about the middle of Ohio. About 950 miles overall, though the one day stretch was closer to 850, which took me about 12 hours to drive.
At one point I had a small breakdown/existential crisis and dropped everything I was doing, took my savings, and traveled. I left San Francisco, flew to London, and 9 months later found myself in Mongolia.
The technical furthest distance would be Egypt at 7,500 miles, or 12070.1km for the metric people.

I drove by myself from Virginia to California over the course of 2 weeks, so about 3000ish miles.
For sheer distance, I traveled from Washington State to London by plane, down to Portsmouth, then up to Edindburgh Scotland by train, before flying back home via London and San Fransisco. Not sure of the distance there, but I was by myself for the whole trip.

Flying?
2400 miles (3900 km) from NY to California for a wedding
driving?
Louisiana to NY. 1200 miles . Was transporting someone's corvette up the country. Sounds like a good ole time, except I suffered from some kind of allergy attack shortly after getting to Louisiana.
