Brit guy visiting Texas for a week

Hi Guys and Gals

I%26#39;ve been pretty much forced into taking a holiday as my company says i have to use my remaining 5.5 days before the end of march.

So i was thinking of going to a place - which i%26#39;ve always wanted to go, Texas!

So although its only a week and i%26#39;ll be on my lonesome i was just seeing what people thought of my rough plan. Bearing in mind i%26#39;ll be relying on public transport rather than using a car. Also i%26#39;ll have to be wary of which towns i pick as i%26#39;m not sure how many parts of Texas airlines fly to from London.

Fly in from Gatwick to San Antonio

Stay 3 nights in a hostel

Get Amtrak to Austin

Stay 4 nights in a hostel

Fly back to Gatwick

So you think this is too much time in one area? Should i check out any smaller towns on the way? Would love to meet some locals who would welcome a tourist.

Hmmmm i%26#39;m sure i have lots of questions, but thats it for now

Thanks in advance :)

Andy

Hello!

Its kinda strange nobody posted anything yet. I just moved from San Antonio and you would for sure start with the Alamo! If you dont have transportation stay at the Riverwalk! Go to Market Square (Mercado) and have so GREAT mexican food! Everyone goes to Mi Terra which is excellent, but so are the street vendors that sell tacos! As for Austin...go to 6th street!

Quite a bit has been posted for this thread, if you look under the Texas forum. That%26#39;s what happens with duplicate posts- the answers get spread out. Most folks on this forum look under Texas rather than the individual cities.
