according to google maps it is 4hrs & 30 minutes to be exact, but I think they lean towards conservative estimates...

again - I think google maps tends to lean towards the conservative side hence my initial estimate of 3 hours or so.

Google time estimates are waay too conservative. From my parents house down to Houston it says 19 hours and 22 minutes. I'm curious to see how long it will take me Sunday.

If I had a clean driving record, I'd shoot for 12 hours
