So I'm looking at two different routes for going from Albuquerque to Austin... one is a route I've done before, which goes through Lubbock (I-40, 84 most of the way). The other is longer, but supposedly faster... goes south through NM to hit I-10 in El Paso and take that most of the way to Austin. I've never driven I-10, what's it like? Is it in good condition, have a high speed limit? I'm inclined to take the second route just 'cause it won't be the same ol, same ol scenery.

It was I-10 to 290, wasn't planning on going through San Antonio. My dad lives near Lakeway, so 290 brought us really close.
For those of you wondering about the speed limit, it's 80! Unfortunately, it's still 65 at night. Stupid drive that was supposed to be 12 1/2 hrs turned into 14 1/2, I guess due to stops and the lower night time speed limit. Grrr. The route was different, but I think if I have to make that drive again I'll go the way through Lubbock. -------------------- |
