Then, as noted ... you are more than welcome to drive up to the Hill Country and stay with me. It's only about 45 minutes from Austin, and we've got a really great winery right near here (we could have a tasting). Also, there's a nice pool ... just bring your suit ... and we could have ourselves a barbeque poolside. Also, the Longhorn Caverns are near me ... and those are really interesting (and literally sooooo coooool).
So .... that way it's more like a mini vacation ....
