San Antonio east or south toward Florida
Is there a good route,along the Gulf Coast that will bypass the traffic in Houston, or is it better to go north of Houston? Trying to avoid the interstates & large cities as much as possible. Thanki...

No quick way. Every few years, we will drive the Texas Coast from Mustang Island to Bolivar Peninsula or enter Louisiana at Sabine Pass and take the southern route through Cameron and Morgan City to New Orleans and we have done similar on the Mississippi, Alabama and Florida coasts, but it is definitely slow and in areas, you just trade one type of traffic for another. But, if you have the time and want to take the tour, jump in and do it. You will probably be glad you did.
Yep a few days on the camping on the beach in your rig on the Bolivar peninsula ($10.00 per year for the permit) and a few days on the beach in Holly La, (The Cajun Riviera). Taking the rig on the big ferry from Galveston and then the really small ferry in Cameron is great.Small detour to the Tabasco factory. Then US 90 through New Orleans and on to gulfport, MS some good eating along that route. I would take at least 2 weeks for the trip and it would be just great.
