I'm thinking we could have them stop when they pass the border. They can set up camp and take a day to prepare to go into the outlying towns of Younis.

Also, that's where the olive forest is that Crow wants to visit, so I could see him fussing if they drove right through without stopping xD

Can you think of anything entertaining to happen on the border?
I know William and Abraxxas haven't practiced their accents, so it could be funny for them to humble themselves to Crow and Penelope and be taught.
If you have any other ideas (action or otherwise), I'm all ears!
