Oh here we go we are off to San Antonio, TX. A buddy we use to work with moved over there earlier this year. We said we would give him to the fall to get settled in and then we would be coming for a visit. Well we have out rooms booked at luxury San Antonio hotels and are planning out our driving route to San Antonio! I am glad we will be able to drive in lower and warmer elevations from here to there so we do not have to worry much about freezing weather or snow.

It will be a long drive about one thousand miles. We figure we can make it in about 14 hours without stops so we are planning one very long day of driving to get there. Knowing me I will probably end up doing most of the driving. My friends are well aware of my long road trips I take by myself and that I have driven across the country a few times recently. They consider me a road warrior and I find that very funny. I enjoy driving long distances and watching the scenery go by.

Our drive will take us south through Tucson. Arizona then south and east to Las Cruses, New Mexico then though El Paso, Texas and then over to San Antonio. It will be an easy drive with interstate highway all the way and mostly flat and open road through the deserts and prairie of Texas.

While in San Antonio I want to go to the Alamo. I know that sounds typically tourist, but having never been to San Antonio this is something I want to see. I am also interested in seeing the River Walk development area and how it revitalized San Antonio’s down town area and has built up tourist traffic to the city.

Now the plans are in place I am getting really excited to see my buddy again.
