I'm catching up on my flist from the whole weekend, or else I would have commented in one of your earlier posts! Very envious about your road trip, not so much about your destination. *g*
Sorry. I've driven through Texas a lot (family in El Paso and Las Cruces, NM), and it really is just as you describe. Kind of fun for a road trip, but then I really love the empty spaces you find out there. My family lived in Dallas for a few years when I was too young to remember it, and it didn't really jive with my parents for some reason. But their circumstances were different, and you seem like the kind of person who finds something to do wherever you go, and IIRC, you mentioned it's to be a short-term move? I'd just sit back, absorb the local flavor, and take copious notes for future J2 fic. :D
