USA trip

[Spaced Cowboy]

Dallas (Well there are some cool places to go and see)
Houston (Ditto, if you ever get there, hiways are F'd up.)
Austin (Getting bigger every day, but still a cool place to go).
San Antonio (Can you say Riverwalk...yes I can!)

[Pax]

I'm just outside of Corpus Christi. I've rode my motorcycle up to San Antonio a couple of times. It's pretty cool, but the highway/expressways in TX are ridiculous.

Don't take greyhound for your visit, it's completely awful and will take forever. I looked at greyhound, it said it would take 59 hours to get from Seattle to Austin. You don't want to spend your precious vacation time on a bus.

And there's the return trip, another 59 hours. That's five days on a bus!

According to Mapquest, driving would take 36 hours to commute the 2,386 miles between the two (or 72 hours, both ways).

In short: FLY!

You think the highways suck here you ought to see the ones in hawaii, oh good god those suck. And i actually thought texas had the worst drivers oh h*** no tuberski and I took a shuttle from aloha staduim back to our condo and he swears that guy driving us clipped a car flying down the road and he didnt stop. The driver just kept driving.

* JohnT contemplates a 2,000 mile journey via Greyhound, shudders

Don't listen to him, Ben. Do it!!

I've gone from Canada deep into Mexico on Greyhound 3 times. It was the best experiences of my life, no word of a lie.

The first 24hours are difficult, but after that you may as well be stoned. Its crazy. And you'll never meet more interesting characters.

Edit: One time I went from Ottawa, Canada to San Diego, and from there to San Felipe, Baja Norte Mexico... non stop. It took over 4 days to get there, and another 4 to get back. And I only spent 2 nights in Mexico before heading back. It was awesome

Edit2: It was like driving from Paris to Tehran. You can't beat it. I highly reccommend you take the bus

Texas is cool... while I definately wouldn't want to be convicted of a crime there. Its clean as hell too... I remember driving in from Louisiana into Texas on the Lake Charles, LA to Beaumont, TX run. It difference was striking immediately crossing the border.

See, Ben... you won't see that on a plane

Everybody has their own opinion, to some texas is rich in history. There are some places in Tx that i would prefer not to see however i must, to get from universal city tx to ogden Utah. Besides texas has a lot of very nice people here Now let me say this I didnt say we didnt have our share of slimeballs either.

As for riding the bus i dont know bout that if you have the time and want the adventure go for it i know that tuberski and i enjoy driving the 2000 or someodd miles to get to his home town just cause its a 28 hour drive strait thru and we spend that time together tallking and stuff.
