Hi there,

I'm heading down to San Antonio for the Labour Day long weekend and was also hoping to take a day out to head up to Austin. I'm travelling on my own and have read some things which say that the drive between SAT and Austin can be a nightmare, particularly when you arrive in Austin proper as it is pretty difficult to navigate. Given that I won't have a map reader, I'm just a little reluctant to commit to renting a car and heading up there if its likely to prove a difficult journey.

Can anyone confirm whether that is correct or whether it seems overblown? Any thoughts gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,

David
