When we lived in the North Dallas area, my daughter and I would occasionally hit the road [for day trips] by heading up 35 into Oklahoma. It was a pretty drive, with lots of hills. Although I couldn't remember offhand, my friend Google Maps just helped me out with the name of a lake up there, Lake Murray. *I* have never camped there, but I believe you can camp out, or you can find hotels/motels/cabins to stay in. It's less than 100 miles from Carrollton [where I lived], a pretty drive, and should make a fun weekend outing. Just bring LOTS of mosquito repellent! (I do NOT miss mosquitoes one bit! Now back home in SoCal, I haven't seen a mosquito in eons. :D)
 
Ive been to San Antonio, Ibiza :) the sunset strip is like... stunning.. Cafe Del Mar, Cafe Mambo :beer: :smokingsomb:
Bit out of your reach though i guess :(
Id swap you a chance to explore europe for me to explore the Americas though :beer:
 
Can you make it to Austin? Looks like a few hours drive from Dallas.
About the only reason I'd ever go to Texas would be to Austin. Great eatin' there. :)

Dallas is beautiful. Have you looked into Lake Travis for camping? Also Houston has the NASA thingy going on. I have also heard the beaches of South Padre island are fabulous.

If you need any info... Just let me know. Been in Houston for 7 years now.

There is the Galveston pier..... Kemah and there is a schlitterbahn here as well. The only problem is really the heat. I know of a few state parks in N Houston as well that are supposed to be awesome. Six Flags Fiesta Texas As far as a "do it up " vacation.... Fiesta Texas is really nice. the Schlitterbon in New Braunsfels is the BOMB!http://www.schlitterbahn.com/Or you can essentially rent a cabin, bring your own food and drinks and play till you pass out and do it all over again. There are also some really cool caves there to break up the weekend.
