US 79 is a wonderful road - and it doesn't go anywhere near Dallas. Thanks.

I'll definitely have to check out the Alamo sites as well.

I've never been to that part of Texas either. The closest I came was going to the Texas Orchestra Directors Associaion (TODA) conference in San Antonio when I was in high school. All I remember was being stuck in San Antonio at the convention center with no car. So I saw nothing, other than the Southern Music Company's headquarters. That was cool.

This should be an interesting experience all around.
