  San Antonio - Find the Alamo, Sightsee & Enjoy Chinese Lunch   The next morning, we decided to tour the Alamo. After our trouble locating our hotel the day before, we hoped we wouldn’t have too difficult of a time finding it.   After looking at several maps, it fina…

We spent a leisurely day with Travis and Suzi looking around San Antonio and the New Braunfels areas.  Very nice.  It started out with breakfast at one of Travis' favorite hangouts.  Super food!  He promised me he'd write a review soon.  Then out the the New Braun…

My friends live on the outskirts of the city so we'd spent most of the time around there. Today we were heading downtown. Our first stop was Denny's for a spot of breakfast then we went for a walk over to tower of the Americas. Neither of my friends had actually been up to the top so my visit was t…

San Antonio is by far our favorite US city.  I have been 6 times and we even tried to relocate there once. Northwest started nonstop flights from Indianapolis to San Antonio on May 2, so of course, we were very excited!  We decided that the weekend of our anniversary would be a perfect t…

Day 3 October 18th 2009 Texas Adventure Today is day 3 of my Texas Adventure. Today I leave this fine city of Dallas and go to San Antonio, Texas to see the Alamo. I leave the hotel very early today before breakfast around 6am or so. I set the GPS for the address of my hotel in San Antonio. I he…

We love to camp!  However theres only so many smores you can eat, and only so many camp songs you can take!  So, when we camp we look for places that have a lot to do or are nearby places where there is alot to do.  This is especially important with kids, otherwise you get …

One not-so-extraordinary afternoon in January of the new millennium, my friend and I drove from Waco in Texas down south to San Antonio. It was a fairly long drive, four hours maybe, but since I didn’t drive and was busy looking around, I hardly noticed the time. After the almost regulation tour …

After some sleep, a continental breakfast ;) we were off to see what San Antonio had to offer. First stop was downtown and the Alamo. I was impressed with the history of the Alamo and how the Texans revere it so much. It's hard to believe that this little building is the anchor of Texas.Walked over…

Tower of the Americas is a 750 feet high observation tower with a restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. Tower of the Americas, designed by San Antonio architect O'Neil Ford, was built as the theme structure of the 1968 World's Fair, HemisFair '68.   On August 9, 1966, the bid for construction of…

I had a conference in San Antonio, so I flew in a day early, so I'd have more time to explore. I thoroughly enjoyed my whole trip and especially liked Seminole Canyon, and Ciudad Acuna. Thanks to Scubagirl76 and Texas_cutie75 for being my tour guides in Del Rio and Mexico. Enjoy the pictures!

The riverwalk is a little like Venice *although I've never really been to Venice, but I'm guessing the canals might look something like this.  One night I went to Knibbe ranch and learned all about long-horns and armadillos and beef cattle.  (Did you know that some ranchers…

So we're back from yet another trip! And a completely different experience that was. For one, everything went off EXACTLY as planned!! Not a single hitch.. not a single deviation. And that was all thanks to the Hubby! Usually I decide where all to go..what all to do.. when to go.. how to get th…

After Ewok's scare from last night, we decided to hit the Riverwalk and the Alamo early in the day before the crowds arrived. We got to the Alamo about 9:30am and already there was people there.  On weekdays they open at 9.  Parking SUCKS in downtown.  Expect to pay $7+ in the parki…
