Oh, gosh, Austin/Central Texas/the Hill Country is full of wonderful stuff.
What do you want to do? Want to take a history tour? Well, we can travel down to San Antonio and visit the Missions, including the Alamo. We can also hit the Texas Republic history stuff in Austin, the French Legation, the O'Henry museaum, the LBJ Library or even the LBJ birth place and the ranch. The Capital, the UT tower where the first mass shotting took place. We could go over to College Station and visit the Bush Library or to the various museaums in Austin, Houston, and Dallas/Fort Worth.
Want to go to a theme park? There's 6 Flags in Arlington between Dallas/Fort Worth, Astroworld in Houston and Fiesta and SeaWorld in San Antonio.
Texas claims, and rightly perhaps, as a Whole Other Country.

COOOL!!
All my sibs, my cousin and I all went to SWTSU/TU at some point in our college times, my sis and cousin both graduated from there. We are close, you ought to drive up to South Austin and we could meet!
I could tell you about the time my mom and I planned a city tour for the wives of some out of town conventioners and found out about all these places!

Ok... you are in Melbourne Australia, it is a nice sunny day so I am going to take you a place called The Dandenongs, its up in the hills just outside of Melbourne, it is almost like a rainforest, with tree ferns and trees everywhere, there are little villages scattered around with cafe's and little curio shops, at the top of the mountain you can see all over Melbourne, then we would drive back to Melbourne for a dinner sea cruise around the bay, this takes about 4hours...the next day I would take you to the Melbourne Zoo which is a must and up to Eureka88 which is the newest sight seeing place, 88 stories up and let you step into The Edge which is a glass cube that when you go into it, it moves outside the building 88 stories up, glass floor, glass walls, glass ceiling...after that I would take you to a real authentic Aussie BBG...definitely a must...

My main tourist attraction is set quite low down in a firm but verdant bushy area with little patches of tended areas. As we move up it we find a very health solid base with a slightly bulbous and now, regrettably, aged substructure. Moving on up, we find a glorious, erect and proudly huge edifice that seems to grow bigger the more that you look at at. Straining for the sky it begs for you touch, your caress until, at length you can resist know more. You want to, an can do, climb to the very top and mount yourself high on the very pinnacle of this, the most loving and seminal symbol in the area. Experience the untold pleasure that being at one with this will bring you. Tears of joy will roll down your cheeks as you are pleasured by the mastery that you have over your surroundings, until, at last, sated for now. You descend and watch it recede as you move away. I don't know what you are thinking, but I'm talking about Salisbury Cathedral and its 404' spire!

Well, as soon as you get off the magic carpet here in South Florida, I'd take you to Fort Lauderdale beach (where the men are) so you could take a dip in Atlantic Ocean, and have a pina colada or two at the Grill Bar right on the beach, and get toasted.... Afterwards, I'd take you to Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor (www.jaxsonsicecream.com - one of S. Fla's hidden gems) for a kitchen sinkful of homemade ice cream to quell those munchies of ours.. Then after we fill up our bellies, I'd take you to Sawgrass Mills to walk off the extra calories while shopping for goodies.. Then as the night comes, I'd take you to South Beach for some fun and dancing, also some more shopping! Then the next day, I'd take you to Florida Keys where we could go swimming with the dolphins, take a ship to St. Sanibel Island (considered one of top 10 places in the world for seashells)where we could go shell-hunting, go skinny dipping, sit under a majestic waterfall. Then the next day, I'd take you to Orlando where we'd go to Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, and several other mini-attractions around there.. Then I'd take you to St. Augustine to do some 'ghosthunting' at some really cool old sites there.. We could call Crone to meet us up there!
There's so much to do here so you're welcome here ANYTIME! I have a pullout sleeper couch which is soooo comfy!! LOL!
*big hugs!*
Love you, Sis!

Wellf course I'd have to take you to the Mall of America. It's only about 20 miles from me. Then we could stop at the Minniesota Institute of Arts. The we would go see the Sculpture Garden. Then to the Java Restaraunt for some great Middle Eastern food. Of course my wife will be our waitress and you could meet her, the best site in all of Minnesota. And of course a bonfire at my house after dinner.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

We've only been here in Las Vegas less than a year, so would be happy to explore some of the sites with you. I can't pick you up at the airport since I don't know that I could handle the crazy traffic there, but a limo is the way to go in this town anyway.
I'd take you to see Spamalot with John O'Hurley - he has got to be great in that. Also Jersey Boys - the story of the Four Seasons is supposed to be good. All you can eat buffets at the casinos and a stop at the casino itself would round out the trip.
It's 107 degrees here now so most stuff would happen inside during the day for sure. So no trip to Hoover Dam for me this time of year.

That is rather funny. I am fairly new to west Texas being born and raised in Michigan. However, so far I haven't found much to be excited about. I live in the town where our current president George Bush spent a portion of his childhood. As such many people go to see the childhood home of George Bush...but it really isn't that exciting. Other then that there is one small and poorly presented museum, a community college, and lots of sand. I hear that two hours from here is a lake and while there are mountains and cool caves to visit they are technically in New Mexico and about five hours from here. So...we can hang out at the pool and enjoy the endless sunshine.

Well hi Rosekitty as you know I live in the West Country of England which is very beautiful so I would take you around locally and show you all the beautiful scenery. Just down the road is a two mile glorious sandy beach and a bit further along the beginning of the Jurassic coastline. There are amazing moors Dartmoor, Exmoor and a bit further down Bodmin. There is also the legendary Stonehenge and Glastonbury a lit bit further away which are must sees. You have Exeter Cathredral, Al a Ronde which is a National Property a stone throw away from my home. Powerdham Castle in its amazing grounds or if you like a bit of adveture Crealy Adventure park with its fairground rides and plenty to do for all ages. Paignton Zoo with all its incredible animals, real smugglers coves, Nigel Mansell the racing driver has a track nearby if you wanted to race. If you wanted to travel further then the Capital city of London has just so many things to offer form Madame Tussards to the Tower of London, The River Thames and Buckingham Palace and nightlife all night long too. Just so much to see and do you would need to extend your visit to experience all. Oh yes of course and just for you the food experience of a Devon Crem Tea made with Devon clotted cream, purrr, purrr. Ellie :D

Hi Rose,
Well, of course I would take you up to Mt. Cheaha, the highest point in Alabama, and there are a few caverns here I could take ya to. Here in town there is the Berman Museum where you can look at ancient coats of armor, crowns, swords, military things as well. Right next to it is the museum of natural history. So, there are a few things we could do.
Besides, I do hope you are welcome here any time.
Hugs
