Hey there western brothers/sisters (I am in Fl) anyway I will be picking up my new to me C5 in CA. in a few days and my goal is to spend my first night in Tuscon or maybe just east of there and then the next night be in houston or just east of there.....my question is can anyof you recommend a few hotels that are on top of I10, I will be alone so I all I want is cheap,safe, and clean??? it would be nice to wake up and see that my coupe was still there thank you

Congratulations on the C5! They are great road cars, you should have a great road trip getting it home. Where in Cal are you picking it up? I live in Texas and make the 1325 mile trip to the San Diego area several times a year. I try to plan my trip to get thru Tucson avoiding the normal commute times. They have been doing construction on I10 for several years and 5 offramps have been closed for a similar period. It's a mess to say the least, speeds are limited to 55 and it's closely scrutinized by photo enforcement. I try to get close to Las Cruces, NM which enables me to get thru El Paso, Tx early the next morn. Once again I try to avoid the commute times since El Paso is a huge city and takes about 30 min just to get thru since speed is limited. Remember the time changes en route! Once you get about 20-30 miles past El Paso the speed limit is 80 for approx 250 miles . As far as motels, I try to stay where you can park in front of your room. As long as the a/c works and the place is clean, I'm good! Lots of choices. I live a little southwest of Fort Worth so I take I20 where it splits from I10, so I can't help you past there. Pack up your radar detector and have fun

I live about 60 east of San Antonio and we make the trip to Tucson once a year. On the way back we typically leave Tucson about 4:30 am and are at home at 9:30-10pm that night (of course that going the speed limit roughly). Houston is about another 140 miles from our exit so that should put you there around 12-1 am.

Whatch your speed from about Exit 610 to 650 in TX the HP is pretty thick through there.
