Vacation at Last!

My first trip of 2013 is less than a week away!!  Very exciting.  And to celebrate, I started organizing my next one!

Talking to people about my next trip, the conversation doesn't change much from the last one (only the location).

"So where are you off to next?"
Me- Texas
"Why?"
Me- Why not...I haven't been there yet.
"Huh.  What part are you going to?"
Me- San Antonio and Austin.
"Huh, the Alamo is disappointing."
Me- Thanks for the warning.

So far I know that A) I will be disappointed with the Alamo and B) there is no basement in the Alamo.  I actually didn't know there was no basement since I never watched Pee Wee Herman so that comment struck me as weird the first time I heard it.  But you know, I don't focus too much on what other people say when it comes to attractions.  I've been to plenty of places that people rave about and I think "ehh" and some of my favorite places no one has ever heard of.  That's the beauty of travel, it's all in how you look at things.

Be sure to check back after next weekend when I'll be posting pictures and stories from my trip to Texas!
