I would say welcome back to Texas, but I work with a guy from Virgina, and some of the guys went back home with him to hunt. They say the views and surroundings are beautiful! But Texas ain't bad either! Enjoy your Christmas stay!

I can! Half a block and back, so I guess that means 1 city block. To my In-Laws' house.

260 miles home to Sweetwater. . .
260 miles back to Austin. . .
1200+ miles or whatever it is from Austin to Pasadena (don't know if we're driving/flying)
1200+ miles back from Pasadena

Done.

[bullfrog_alumni_02]

if i were gonna be able to go home it would have been inthe neighborhood of 5000-7000 miles, but i cant find the exact distance, i did it once, but im tired and i have to get redy for a Christmas party with some people from church. but im not coming home, so 3afan wins i think.

[lepfan]

1200 miles round trip + about another 500 'running around seeing everyone' once we are there. I guess I should not whine about what I have to drive after seeing what some of you are going to drive! Be safe everyone!!!

I'll probably be feeling that way after a few days too..... Oh well, most of those visiting are used to doing their own laundry so that's one thing I won't worry with :D
