Hi all

I've just booked a last minute trip to the US, departing (and arriving...) on Saturday. It's actually my first time ever to the states, so I am rather excited .

Anyway, I am flying in & out of DFW. I intend to spend the whole time in Texas as I think that's the smart thing to do - but being specific, I am not sure on how to split the time. I've done a fair bit of reading but it seems everyone has a different opinion on where is worth visiting!

As I'll be coming in on the long haul from Australia I have decided to book four nights in Dallas, since there is a decent amount I know I want to see there. Managed to get a good deal at the Fairmont so, not so bad.

But that leaves another six nights to use, somehow. I was thinking Houston & San Antonio? I know everyone suggests Austin (and it does look good) but MotoGP is at COTA next weekend which means the place is pretty much booked out super expensive. So I might leave Austin for another time. Is a 3/3 split of the other two about right? Should I perhaps take a night off one and visit somewhere else, or a night in the Fort Worth area?

My last night I will spend around the DFW/Arlington area, to take in a Rangers game and before the early flight to LAX.

If anyone could help or give some guidance, it would really be appreciated! Thanks, from a friendly kangaroo...
