[Scriptoris] Road Trip Recommendations?

[Kayci McKinley]

Aslyn,

Where is SMU?  Is it in Dallas?  That's pretty close with a little planning,
only 3 hours from Namron.

Given the wealth of info and intriguing private Ansteorran libraries in the
south, maybe I can round up a couple of my scribal geek friends  from the
Abbey and make a trip that way this summer.  You guys are making me drool.
LOL..
