JC.
I have hobbied for over 6 years now, having lived in Killeen all this time (I did also have an apartment in San Antonio for 6 months while working there).
As Cowboy said
Austin is worth the drive.

Allow me a moment to expand:
Austin (much closer to Killeen than DFW or Houston) brings a greater variety and greater diversity of talented and beautiful ladies, certainly due to the huge difference in numbers of providers there.
You will find everywhere the occasional lady that takes too long for you to respond - we all have personal lives and not everyone hobbies full time. That said, in Killeen, BCS, Waco, this area, unlike Austin or Houston or DFW, the ladies here cannot rely solely on ECCIE for their livelihood. They must, for shear survival, rely on other advertising means (such as BP). In the larger cities, an ECCIE, P411, EROS etc lady would be crucified for advertising on BP and would lose business from the boards.
Here, in the smaller areas, without BP the ladies starve.
That being said, for the most part, hitting the ladies here in the smaller areas on ECCIE alone and asking for and appt is probably not the best way to go about it.
My recommendation is to send them a PM of introduction, along with the last four digits of your hobby phone number, telling the lady you will contact them shortly. Do this first, then go ahead and call them - they almost all list their hobby phone in their ad as this is their bread and butter. Tell them you are an ECCIE member and that they can verify by checking thier PM. Make your appointment over the phone, as that is what they are accustomed to.
As to timing, This IS payday weekend. 35,000 soldiers got paid yesterday... timing is not the best....
As to travelling to Austin. For me, I had no problem dedicating the 5 or 6 hours it took. Depending on where the lady was located, you have to allow 3-4 hours of round trip time and then 1-2 hours for an appointment. For some, that amount of absence is not possible. I can see a local lady for an hour and it take me 1.5 hours from the time I leave home to the time I get back.
As to traveling ladies. We get some great ones through here. Many do not return, due to their experiences here. For them, they get more NC/NS and cancellations here than other places. For them,some are better off traveling from one big city to another, due to more hobbyists available. Sparta's point is very accurate.
Here is one more thing for you to consider. Find yourself a lady in Austin (or DFW) who does travel, go and see her in her own territory, or prebook with her when she announces a trip here. After you establish a good rapport, see what her interests are in travelling to see you. For me, there are several ladies I can contact that will gladly come to see me. Sparta and others, I am sure will tell you the same thing.
Hobby safe!
