[JONAT] Houston Sector - bypassing Dallas

[Mark McDavid]

That's the general idea.  I was actually thinking about a different (more
scenic) route from Houston to Austin.
You take I-10 west about 70 to Columbus, then Hwy 71 North into Austin.  And
since the drive is so short, I may even take them past Columbus on 10 and
into San Marcos, then to Austin.  There's a small town brewery with a big
name in Shiner, TX.  Are brewery tours allowed on this trip?

Are we shooting for major highways like this, or does the tour prefer the
smaller backroads?  Also, will the tour be coming into Houston from
Louisiana off of I-10?
