[NTLUG:Discuss] I'm driving through Texas on Sunday-Monday ... Lunch on Monday near Dallas?

[Bryan J. Smith]

All --

I'm heading from Florida to Sin City (Las Vegas) on Sunday and
plan to arrive sometime Tuesday hopefully by mid-to-late morning,
(or later if I stop a 2nd time).  I'm used to driving 18 hours straight
(and have even done 25 hours once).

Given the Interstate System, I think the best move is to take I-10
west until Louisiana, switching to I-49 and then to I-20, and into
Dallas.  That should place me in Texas sometime late Sunday or early
Monday morning (depending on when I leave).  I would definitely 
get a hotel and catch some sleep at that time.

*** HOOK UP FOR LUNCH? ***
It would be cool to hook up with some of you guys for lunch (or dinner
if I'm running late) in Dallas.

Ultimately I want to figure out some US/SR to get to I-40 in Texas
(which then takes me to US-93 north into Sin City sometime Tuesday).
I've never driven west of Dallas-Houston (and that was years ago), so
any recommendations on the switchover from I-20 to I-40, other than just
straight up I-35, is recommended.

Or if you recommend a totally different route, please recommend it.
Especially if you have recommendations on traffic avoidance, local
hotels (especially more west), etc...
