Texas has miles and miles of beaches that are largely overlooked. Sure they aren't as nice as those down in the Caribbean or even Florida, but you can still have a great time.

Despite only having a limited time at Chichen Itza, we managed to tour the grounds which was an experience that will always be one of the most memorable in my life.

Barcelona is a wonderful, lively city on the coast of the Mediterranean. The unique architecture makes for interesting day trips, while the happening night life makes for memorable nights out with old friends or meeting new ones. Ibiza is one of the top party spots in the world. Even if you aren't into going to clubs, there is still plenty to do.

A long layover is the perfect opportunity for some quick site seeing. With only 8 hours, a camera, and a little motivation you can make your friends back home jealous!
