If you can wait two weeks DJLawman we can have a trip report from the Texas F-T gathering.
BUT I can tell you from experience on being there...
*It has the Alamo which is worth spending an hour or two... a great piece of history in the middle of a modern and growing city. Nice history, and I even found out that someone from NJ died at the Alamo.
*Very good Tex Mex, Mexican food and gourmet restaurants.
*The Riverwalk is a fun place for taking the little river cruise, good shopping, nice souvenier places. I had fun there.
As for a long trip... I ended up finding spending two days there was enough. YOu CAN use San Antonio as a base for venturing out to the other areas of Texas.
But maybe I should not be the one offering advice. Let let our Texas contingent weigh in on San Antonio.
