Driving Distances from New Orleans to San Antonio, TX ~ 550 miles

Do you really think it would have been better to take the bus to SA from NO? I'm guessing that would have been at least a nine hour drive, which would get you home around 11:00 am. Time for a quick lunch and then off to the airport for LA. I don't know about you, but I think I would probably sleep better on a stationary airplane than a moving bus.
