kk, <BR>I'm in Austin. Have wheels, will travel. (Of course I have to go to Houston periodically to get my IKEA fix.) London might be ok, too. Tony, if you are going to be in Texas, let me know. <BR>Pam

Richard, <BR>Marfa? How about Indian Lodge at Ft DAvis? I've wanted to go there for years! Or Sonora--there's a family story behind that suggestion. SA is fine w/ me but 5 hrs for kk. How about Bryan/CS--midway on Hwy 6 & 2.5ish hrs from AUS.

Pam, yes, isn't it ridiculous that the Houston IKEA has to serve all of Texas? Let me know when you are coming next. <BR>And Richard, MARFA? Surely you jest, as I did about Waco.

Pam, somehow I don't think Richard is going to like the Bryan/College Station idea. I have to go up there all the time for work, though. <BR>I could do San Antonio, on the right weekend, since my mom lives near and I could, er, kill two birds with one drive, er, stone.

Tammy, <BR> <BR>I can make March 3 in Cincinnati - - there is that Art Deco hotel I am blanking on the name... <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>Westerville, Ohio (near Columbus) <BR> <BR>...and p.s., often in Louisville, area as well. My family lives in Floyds Knobs.

Oh, kk, I don't know...B/CS would be a cultural experience.... Isn't that what traveling is all about? SA is good; I'm down there quite a bit. Glad you were kidding about Waco, though we mustn't forget the Dr. Pepper Museum or the Texas Ranger Museum...or the Browning Library. Texans/those passing thru, email me privately if you prefer.

That hotel is the Omni Netherland Plaza (appropriate name for a gathering of Euro-philes) - - see the web page www.cincyusa.com/pages/content/pr0300d.html for more info on Art deco in Cincinnati.

kk, Pam, If you want to combine this with a home visit, my wife's Mom lives in Lubbock. How 'bout we meet in Muleshoe, Levelland or Notrees. My kids are UT Austin grads so CS is out, big time (to coin a phrase). No take on N'Orleans, eh? By the by, I'm a Yankee so I'm parroting my wife's suggestions.

Re: Cincinnati meeting <BR>It would be great to meet some fodors regulars when Tony gets to town, what a way to kick off our three month road trip! Not sure which day would be better...his flight gets in late on March 3 so maybe sunday the 4th, we could meet for lunch or drinks. <BR>If these dates don't work, my schedule is pretty open (until March), I'll just come solo.

<BR>Richard, <BR>How about Perryton, Dumas or Darrouzett? And re: B/CS, there is the Bush museum...and being from Plano, you're probably Republican. <BR>How about the bar in the Menger Hotel, in San Antonio--the bar Teddy Roosevelt supposedly rode into on his horse--? It's small and it would be easy to locate each other, plus we could go have our picture taken in front of that icon, the Alamo, and send it to Danny @ fodors in NYC. Whatcha think?

Art, that must be another Holly. For me, it's going to be Venice in April! Anyone want to meet for $12 cocktails at Quadri?

I misread Tony's posting; I thought that the end date was March 3. I agree that any other date makes more sense - - either March 5 - - or at some later point when the itinerary crosses back through Cincinnati. <BR> <BR>Tony's call?

Well, I really started something with that posting didn't I? <BR>Unfortunately nothing there to suit me at the moment but hope you all have a good time......have a drink for me! <BR>Any Sydneysiders (or those not too far away) interested?
