Austin trip plans

Becky and I just got back from HEB. We bought some snack for our long travel day tomorrow. We shall depart <B>Austin</B>, Texas at around 11 am CDT. We have a 3 hour layover in Charlotte, North Carolina before we land in Washington D.C. in the late afternoon, early evening. I am charging my electronic toys. I plan on taking my iPhone to guide me around the city, just like I did in Europe. I will also be taking my Nikon D80 for pictures and a Canon point & shoot to record video. Other than that I am packing lightly since we do not want to lug around too much cargo. I have already researched a bit on W...

Our Nation's Capital

5 day trip

I made it to Houston last night without any problems. The flights were smooth and on-time (not bad for Friday the 13th!!), and Omer picked me up at the airport. From there we did some grocery shopping, bought dinner, and went to his condo to eat. I was exhausted, and did not stay awake long past dinner. Today Omer has to go to a wedding and to his school to take a test, so I will be hanging out here in the condo on my own for most of the day. I don't mind - I need a day to rest and plan out the week. We do have plans to go to <B>Austin</B> and San Antonio, but do not have the days worked out yet for ...

Texas Trip 2008

11 day trip

We left <B>Austin</B> around 10 am. We drove through West Texas and stopped at Texas Road House in Abilene for lunch. We had reserved seats for the Texas! Musical at Palo Duro Canyon, but actually arrived in Canyon earlier than expected, so we went ahead and drove to S. Amarillo to check into our hotel. After checking in and resting for a few minutes, we drove to Palo Duro Canyon to see the musical. The musical was great, and a perfect ending to a long day in the car. The drive from Amarillo to Colorado Springs was an easy one. We stopped at a Burger King for lunch (to appease Kenny) and arrived in C...

Texas to Colorado road trip - summer 2008

10 day trip

Things never seem to go as planned, and our long weekend in <B>Austin</B> turned into a short weekend. But it was worth it; we had a great visit. We were supposed to arrive at 5, but didn't get in until 11 pm. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott South . We over-slept on Saturday morning and had no time for breakfast before we had to leave for our tour. I'm so glad we did, because, after confirming our reservations for the tour at the <B>Austin</B> Visitor's Center , they told <B>us</B> we had time for breakfast before the bus left. They recommended the 1886 Café & Bakery at the Driskill Hotel on the corner. The Dr...

Austin

3 day trip

What a day this was! Our day began at 3:50am, eastern standard time and did not end till 10pm Pacific standard time. We were up all day!!! Luckily we were departing from MIA (Miami International Airport). We got there in about 15 minutes from my house. Anywho, I was wired. I haven't been able to eat or sleep all week so I had no problem waking up. Bert on the other hand hardly slept at home so he could try to sleep on the plane. We originally were set to arrive in San Francisco but had a slight change to arrive in San Jose. We were quickly boarded on the first flight arriving in Atlanta, GA. W...

Northern California

10 day trip

I got up early this morning wanting to be on the road at 6 in the morning. We did not end up leaving until 10 am. It seems that my daughter was having a hard time leaving her cat. It took about 11/2 hours for her to give the instructions on how the cat needed to be taken care of while we were gone. Then a whole bunch of little things kept popping up that delayed <B>us</B>. We finally hit the road and ran into a little bit of rain but for the most part we had a safe trip and a nice drive. In Pennsylvania we learned that crayons are made there. The first banana split came from PA, and the slinky dink a...

44 day trip

We were more than ready for a small break when we arrived in the Woodlands, just north of Houston. Lunch and fellowship refreshed <B>us</B>. Then we continued on to the Port of Houston for our first tour. We headed south from Dallas, arriving in Houston just in time for our Boat Tour of the Port of Houston. It was a unique perspective on what takes place in the port - oil barges, etc. It was quite interesting - but cameras were not allowed. :-( Then on to Homewood Suites, Clear Lake to settle in. After dinner we enjoyed the movie, The Night at the Museum. A good night's sleep was what we all needed b...
