Hey Dustin,
This'll show how long it's been since I've lived in Austin, but I used to schedule morning classes, then spend the rest of the day, riding out to Bee Caves, around the brand new 4-lane to West Lake Hills (was it 360?... no houses in sight back then), and sometimes out 2222 to Lake Travis. Beautiful, man.
Earlier this year I about shat myself when I realized my flight to Austin was landing at Bergstrom AFB.
