Off to Texas on an early flight

April 3, 2018 9:46pm CST
Alarms will be set at 3:30 AM tomorrow morning, though I will probably be awake. We have a 5:15 AM flight to Denver, connecting to San Antonio with a 55 minute layover. If all goes well, we will be smelling bluebonnets and great Mexican food by 1 PM. Anne will be attending her Studio Art Quilter's Convention and I will be visiting the city I left at age15 and have not seen since. We should both have fun. Our hotel is on the famed River Walk and I am anxious to walk the whole thing. We will be back next Wednesday and I hope to have things to share. I am taking my ping pong paddle since I read there are bars where they play. Enjoy your week on myLot and I will be here next week.

Have a good time in the Lone Star State. Don't wear a Blazers cap in a Spurs town.

Have a great time. What a great idea to take your paddle along but aren't you lucky you don't have to take a set of golf clubs or something humungous? I'll look forward to reading all about it when you return.

Yes, I am glad that I do not play golf.

I remember the boat rides from the River Walk hotel. I enjoyed my stay in San Antonio and (of course) I visited "The Alamo".

@JamesHxstatic I hope you both enjoy it. Sounds great that you will be able to play ping pong. I hope it will bring back good memories for you.

It was a pretty good trip. The city had grown so much that, while I recognized streets, I had no idea where things were.

@JamesHxstatic So, you felt like a real tourist then? What was it like to recognize some of the streets?

Got back last night, ping pong was nowhere to be found, but it was a great trip.
