As one of the nation’s largest, your state has plenty to offer year-round. How long has it been since you’ve taken a road trip to another Texas city outside your own? Houston, Dallas, and Austin each have something to offer. Sports fans can catch a live rodeo or watch the Dallas Cowboys, and cheerleaders, in action. If you’re more in the mood for some arts or culture, Austin, dubbed “Live music Capital of the World,” is sure to have an eclectic selection of live music almost every night of the week. Six Flags Over Texas is also one of your state’s biggest attractions with roller coasters, water rides, and fun for the whole family. And if you haven’t been to the beach in awhile, don’t forget that Texas has hundreds of miles of coastline, whether you’d like to catch a quiet sunset at a quaint beach town or sip on a cocktail and enjoy some fresh seafood while watching the boats sail in and out of the harbor at Corpus Christi, you really can’t go wrong. And if you haven’t been already, and you’re looking to do something both fun and educational, as we’re sure you’ve heard before, remember the Alamo! |

| Travel Auctions-Fun Way to Bargain Travel |
By now you’ve probably used an online booking site like Expedia or Travelocity. These sites are easy to use and often offer great deals on travel packages, hotels, car rentals, and flights. But, there is an even more fun and easy way to book your travels online! Consider participating in a travel auction! Online travel auction sites allow users to bid on a variety of travel deals and may offer greater savings than other online travel sites. Just like any other auction site, users search for and then bid on specific “items” during the bidding period, when the bidding period ends the user with the highest bid wins the item. Typically, travel details are entered after a winner is chosen. Here are some helpful tips for using a travel auction site: *Be patient. Travel auction sites are getting very popular and some people are bidding way over cost but deals can still be found if you are patient. *Read all the fine print, as there may be taxes and fees that can increase the price. Sometimes the increase can be quite significant so you should consider the total cost (after tax and fees) when bidding for an item. *Be flexible. Travel auctions are not ideal for travelers that require traveling on specific dates. Sometimes you may purchase the item and then chose dates at a later date. *It may be helpful to know on average what the cost would be through a travel agent or other site. If the bids get too high, it may be easier to go elsewhere. *See if there are any auction alert systems available on the site. Use this function to track your auctions. If available, it may be beneficial to see how items have been selling in the past. This can help you establish a maximum bidding price. Sometimes booking travel and planning may be boring and tedious but with travel auctions, you can have fun while getting a great deal. To get started check out skyauctions.com! |

| As one of the largest states in the Union, Texas, the Lone Star state, is big on tourism and huge on fun. Two thirds of the over 20 million folks who call Texas home live in its major metropolitan cities, like Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Aside from the typical things most big cities have to offer, like great food and exciting nightlife, folks in Houston can also sign up for space camp. In Dallas, nothing beats catching the Dallas Cowboys football team in action during a home game, or witnessing a true cowboy ride a live, bucking bull in a Dallas rodeo. And, in Austin, the city dubbed “Live Music Capital of the World”, there is always a good band playing and many other types of live entertainment, from theater to orchestras. If relaxing by the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico is more your speed, then head down to the state’s hundreds of miles of coastline. Aside from its many small, quaint beach towns, there’s also Corpus Christi, where you can enjoy a delicious seafood meal while watching the boats sail in and out of the harbor past the barrier islands located just off the mainland. Texas also has several water parks and amusement parks, including the famous Six Flags Over Texas. Whatever you decide to do in Texas, you’re bound to have a good time. And, before you leave, there are two things you definitely don’t want to forget, your luggage…and the Alamo.
