Texas meet?

[MadMax]

You'll love UT, when I was stationed in San Angelo we used to road trip there on the weekends. I am not too sure about Houston, I'm not the biggest fan of that town.

I've only had my hatchback for three weeks, but I am already loving it! I don't know if I would want to drive it the 1100 miles from Jax to San Antonio; I've done it several times in other cars, from a Acura Integra to a VW Passat wagon to a Honday Odyssey and it's always been a two-day trip. We normally stop at the Drury Inn in Layfette, Louisiana as it is a good day's drive from Jax. The panhandle is a nice drive, and there are other bits that are scenic; but for the most part IH-10 is tedious and boring. Be sure to load up your MP3 player with music and podcasts!

But Texas is a great place to live. I retired from the USAF here and we deliberately got stationed here for our last assignment. We spent half of my career overseas, but this was our favorite place in the States. However, San Antonio is more family-oriented whereas Austin is a better place for younger singles. The Hill Country is a wonderful place to drive or ride (I've got two motorcycles) and it is also a great place to own a Jeep because the weather is dry and hot most of the year.

Anyhow, if you have any questions about Texas feel free to PM me. And let us know when you you get here, as we need to make this Yaris meet a reality!

Cheers! M2

That's awesome! thanks! I will probably do the trip in one day, I have done it before. It takes about 13 hours. not too bad. But yes, I have plenty of music to jam to on the way there (expected to leave here december 15th)! Hopefully we will get to meet at this up and coming car meet.
