After Houston, we hope to stay a couple nights at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio, visiting with the San Antonio area FReepers and hopefully meeting the Texas Termite, baby Logan and family. Then our home trip commences.
On the way home, we hope to stay a couple nights at the Holiday Inn in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
We'll have dinner in Phoenix as we pass through and will possibly stay overnight there.
The last overnight stay on our trip will be at Lake Havasu City, AZ, where we'll meet with the local FReepers and tour the world headquarters of VetsCoR (Veterans for Constitutional Restoration).
Looking forward to a great trip and seeing old friends again and meeting lots of new ones!
I'd like to come up to Frisco and say hi if possible. Let me know a venue, please. It may just be a quick "hi - goodbye" since I need to be home helping take care of our toddler son.

Everyone who gets to meet Jim and Sheila and Chris must remember to bring a flower for Sheila's hair.
She just LOVES to wear them!So bring your state or area flowers for her, gang!!!!
Good news. I just checked up on it. I'll probably be back in Austin (well, Buda) by the eighth, so I'll probably be able to make it on the ninth. It'd be great to finally meet you and the people in the HOT chapter.
Looking forward to finally getting to meet you Mr. Jim!
Thanks for the ping!
So disappointed you won't be making it out to Atlanta - maybe a future trip?
Have a blessed and *SAFE* trip - sounds like fun! We'll expect lots of pictures and FReeper reports!
:-)

All right! I live about 2 miles from Frisco in Plano. I'll be out of town and get back on the 6th if there are no hitches, hope to see you in Frisco, TX.
Stay overnight somewhere near the mid point between Fresno and Ft Collins Thursday night. Probably Cedar City or Beaver, UT.
