Who determines what's considered short? A week is actually quite long in my book!
Maskim for you anything over 3 days is considered settled down!

Interpertation I got is so long as you are still travelling, like going on a vacation etc then not to make, but when I went to Israel for months at a time I did make.

I had an old chakira, as the Halacha is u say tefillas haderech again every day you're still travelling, do you first say modeh ani, or first tefillas haderech. תדיר ושאינו תדיר, תדיר קודם
What would be the Havamina that you would say Tefilas Haderech first?

Hayom Yom (19 Tamuz) says that the Rebbe Rashab would say Teffilas Haderech (without Hashem's name) each day of his trip even if he was staying in one place for months at a time.

I only make when I return. For example if I go to Israel for a week I make it once when I get back home.
+1, but a week is already considered long.

crossing a desert is like crossing an ocean. They are both from th "Arba Tzrichim Le'Hodos.
So if you do Oceans you should do Deserts.

I was told to make only when going to another continent over the ocean.
-1 what does a Continent have to do w/ anything? you can go to from Aisa to Europe in a minute but from LA to HI not?  :o :o
Ask again maybe you heard wrong.  :-\ :-\

Chabad Minhag is to bentch Gomel when flying over oceans, but not land.
As Dan said above.
[This, despite the fact that the Shitah of the Alter Rebbe would indicate that one always bentch, even when crossing land.]
i know a few Chabad guys that say it after every flight no matter how long.

@ Achas Veachas, do you know the makor?  ;)

No specific psak, כך מקובלני מבית אבא.

The closest thing to a Makor I could find is Leku"sh Chelek 12 page 152, though that speaks about Tefillas Haderech. If you're %100 positive there's a Makor for a Hagomel I can ask my father ;)

My bad. I didn't look at the source, I saw it in Sha'arey Halachah Uminhag.
