[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 717790, member: 1233"] I think you will enjoy Corpus Christi. If your route takes you through OK, let me know and we can get together. I went to college in Austin for a couple of years and had a good friend from Corpus. She was shocked by Austin winters. She had never seen snow before! Or weather that cold. She told stories of how nice the weather was and of spending time on the beach and of Christmas shopping in shorts. For the most part, Texas is like anywhere else. The people are just a bit more, well, Texan. Some are liberal and some are conservative and some just don't care. I loved living in Austin and would move back if I could afford it, especially if I didn't have kids in school or parents to take care of. I don't like the Texas school system's way of handling special education. I just have not seen anything I liked or really respected of it. Not for lack of trying on the teachers' parts, don't get me wrong, just the district level determination to not accomodate if they can get away with it. Having both my parents and my husband's parents still alive in OK means that moving to Austin won't happen for quite some time. That is fine, I like where we live also. As you drive down I 35 there will be some interesting towns. I cannot remember the name of one, but it is Czechoslovakian. There are big signs about the various places to stop in the town. The food was pretty good and it was interesting to see. It was one of the towns in TX that we used to pass as we drove down to Austin on our way to go back to school each year. There is also a place that sells fried pies in OK that is a good place to stop. Big signs on the highway. Been there for years and has never given me an upset stomach. I have a very sensitive digestive system, so if I say it is safe to eat there, I have been there multiple times and never had a problem. Be sure you let me know when you are traveling, esp if you are coming through OK. I truly would LOVE to meet somewhere. I will drive to meet you pretty much anywhere in the state that I can. If you are driving through and this would be a good stopping point, I can set up a good campground around here. We have a beautiful lake outside of town that I know a lot of people stay at with RVs. Or you can probably set up at my parents without a problem. They are pet friendly and people friendly. This is a nice town for a stopover. But if you want to stop over in another town, or just meet for lunch or whatever, that is fine. I just would love to meet. [/QUOTE]
