The Old West At Its Best: Come Mess With Texas! Texas Travel Information
Travel to Texas for one of the most exhilaratingly colorful adventures in North America. From Honkey-Tonks and dude ranches to space science and modern medicine, Texas is an intriguing accumulation of larger than life metropolises and countryside. Snag your airfare to Texas in fewer seconds than a bull ride and you’ll be happy to find a cheap and easy way into the second largest state of the United States of America.
Six Flags Over Texas
Throughout Texan history, the territory has in fact been ruled by six different flags: France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America. As you might have guessed, Arlington, Texas, is home to the first Six Flags theme park in the nation. Even with this many political changes, the state the size of France has maintained a fiercely independent culture and lifestyle, which contributes to the unique charm and humble pride you will encounter when you travel Texas.
Make sure a stop in San Antonio is on your itinerary. There you can visit the Alamo mission, the famous site of the tragic Battle of Alamo where Texas fought for its independence from Mexico. Texas then became an independent republic for nearly 10 whole years until annexing to the United States in 1845.
More than Yellow Roses in Texas
From the annual Chili Cookoff to the world’s largest rodeo, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Texan culture is bigger than life. A trip to Houston offers the Johnson Space Center where Mission Control is based as well as the nation’s largest medical research facility, the Texas Medical Center. A journey to the western Texan border is where you’ll find El Paso, brimming with authentic Hispanic culture and just a short distance from the stately Rio Grande.
Big Bend National Park is a protected stretch of the Rio Grande, abundant with forest, desert, snakes, flora and a wide array of native wildlife. You may also stumble across a political creature in Lajitas, where the town mayor is in fact a real beer-guzzling goat! For more beautiful scenery, make your way through Austin’s surrounding countryside, known as Hill Country. A mosaic of wildflowers along rolling hills stretches for miles around Austin and the German city of Fredericksburg.
When planning your trip, remember the massive quality of the state. The best way to explore all of the urban and rural wonders in Texas is certainly by car. This way you can be certain to make it to the largest Honkey-Tonk in the world, Billy Bob’s, just west of Dallas in Fort Worth or down to the Gulf Coast to witness King Ranch, one of the largest working ranches in the world (the size of Rhode Island!). Buy those boots, find that hat, and get your airfare to Texas today before it gets any bigger.
for those of you that travel a lot.?
ok so i live in fort wayne IN
and i want to go visit
dallas texas this summer
and stay there for at least
a week.
I know I am gonna need gas money, food money,spending money, and money for a place to stay so for anyone that has been on adventures like this can you help me?
i wanna know about how much should i save to go?
I dont need a 5 star hotel and I dont plan on going crazy with the shopping so just something simple and that will be enough to have a good time.
figure max 120 a night for hotels. That is like a holiday inn. You can find super 8′s or things like that for cheaper. You should know how many miles your car gets per tank so figure out your round trip mileage and then you can figure out how many tanks you’ll need x $$ per tank. $30 a day for food unless your wining and dining yourself 
$1100 should be good. Hotel rates add up quick
Get Some R & R before the end of the summer we will be closing at the end of the summer, and you might think, "I need some R & R before the start of the school year."
