I've heard this too.

I begin my 16 day jaunt from San Diego to Houston this morning for my wedding, stopping for three days in Phoenix for Christmas. After Friday, there will not be a single mile of I-10 that I have not traveled on, from LAX to JAX. Hooray for rental cars.

I would say it's worth it, but there is not much there. If you go a little outside of town there are some really pretty views, especially with the nearby lakes.

Aside from taking a photograph of a cool road-sign, it's pretty boring. I found Carrizozo to be far more scenic.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like I should skip heading south on I-25.

I'm still torn between ABQ and DUB. DUB is a lot more miles...

I'm halfway through my drive :rolleyes: to Texas. I made it to Jackson, MS last night, spent the night, and now and trying to drag myself out of the hotel to get coffee, breakfast, and Best Buy to pick up two remaining Christmas gifts I need to take with me. And then it's off on the 6.5-7 hour drive ahead of me. :rolleyes:

Why the hell are you driving to Texas???

I know, I laughed when I re-read my dilemma, but they are both places I'd like to eventually visit. I'm just a little bitter about hotel prices in DUB as they are far too high for winter travel.

Tell me this = complete aerogeek...

Sometimes when I am debating between 2 destinations for my next trip, I'll add them both to my FlightMemory to see which line(s) looks better. :o

Yet another reason why I don't want to get sucked into the FM nonsense.

"Honey, does this line match my shoes?"

See... this is exactly why I had so much trouble convincing my partner to come with me to the DO... ;)

It is going to cost me for years to come! :)

In reality - this group drinks enough that it clearly negates the geek factor.

Yep, I'd say you're normal. Me on the other hand... :p
