Tangentially related to my trip to the Tanger Outlet today. I now have 68 cents left on the gift Visa from the resort/timeshare company this morning:

* $19 of grocery shopping
* Tanger - gift for myself from "Le Gourmet"
* Tanger - two CDs from "Music for a Song"
* Tanger - Pepperidge Farm store - three large boxes of Tim Tam's (360g each, good through Oct 2010), Goldfish, and other items
* Tanger - New pair of Rockport dress shoes after using pink card

The dress shoes were iffy - I was conflicted between Coach, Johnston & Murphy, and Rockport.

Well sbm12 is flying into AUS, so TX-71 to I-10 East is the fastest route.

I would think if they are heading downtown the 71/10 combo would work.. but then again I didn't google the exact DO location.. :)

I avoid 290 into and out of AUS at all costs unless I am headed to Westlake or the Parmer Lane area.

My bad. Years of living in NW Houston (near 2920) accustomed me to always taking 290 to reach Austin.

With the toll road, none of it is a pain now. I like 290 less because there are more towns and stuff that require you to slow down. Past La Grange, it's smooth sailing onto I-10. But I will use 290 if I have things to do on the north side of Houston. Anything south of I-10 (such as visiting my parents) will see me use SH-71. I'm just hoping the weather doesn't divert sbm12's flight and/or cause significant delays. I suppose it isn't the end of the world, as I can attempt to acquire a gate pass and use my Priority Pass to hang out in the AUS PC.
