Oi!
I'll attend a conference in San Antonio, Texas, in early January and since I'll fly over there anyway, I'll go in late December already and will visit Houston, Dallas, and Austin as well.
This is the first time I'll visit the US and I look forward to it.
Do you people have any advice for first-timers from Europe? Things I definitely should pay attention to? Of course, the tip situation comes to mind.
Places I should see? Places I should avoid?
I have two to three days in each city. I'm after the usual tourist stuff, landmarks, famous buildings, you name it. Lookouts are a personal must when I visit cities. I'm much interested in history, so if there's a good museum in that regard, let me know.
And, of course, what's the best place to eat!?
