[ForTehNguyen]

Hotel and flight booked... tickets coming in the main soon!

Had to get a flight to Houston tho... 190 miles away. The flight was $249 instead of $610 from NJ. Using the $300 vouchers we had from United our flight is free!

Now I can rent a slightly better car and enjoy the ride!

Can't wait to visit Texas!

Most excellent shopping! It is not a bad drive, just not real scenic until you get west of Austin. I assume you are flying into IAH, no? The most direct route from IAH is US 290 West. Safe travels!

Good luck with the traffic and enjoy the race. I will be home with SPEED Channel.

What upsets me is that I have to drive past the track to the expo center just to be drive back to the track.

Oh well.

Can't wait to get to Tx!
