For something to do between LA & SF, might I suggest Hearst Castle [link]
He built it as a rest point between the two cities for his rich friends. Now it's a national landmark. I haven't been yet myself, but I hear it is lovely!
And hey, if your a baseball fan, what about Dodgers or Angels baseball in SoCal?
Hearst Castle is a great idea. A's ball is definitely on the schedule.
You make me feel like a slacker, Suzi. I'm arriving in Houston on a Sunday night and don't have to be in New Orleans until Friday night.
When are you coming, Lee?
I get to Houston Sept 8th. I was going to email you and see if you a) could meet up, and b) if you had a hotel rec.
I still need to work out all of the rest of the details, including if anyone is joining me, but at least I know that much.
Okay, just wanted to check the dates because we are going to Europe in late July. But I should be in town when you arrive!
YAY.
No road trips in July in Texas/Louisiana for me.
Heeeey, I am going to be in Houston the penultimate weekend of August (August 24-27)!
I believe I will also be here then, in between my two August cons.
That is about 46 hours of driving over maybe 9 days. Are we nuts?
Heh, having just done 14 hours of driving Saturday (well, and about an hour into Sunday) I'm going to say not that nuts.
