River Walk, San Antonio, Texas..

If ever there is a perfect host, then BJ is the one, that gorgeous lady, the spouse of our nephew. They were the host and we play guest as well as tourist during the duration of our stay in Houston. Like all tourists do, we just relax and take it easy and let things develop as its goes. It was our turn to enjoy living among loves one in this part of the world, a world where once we would just see on the TV. Razak our nephew was in his teen when we send him to study in the US. It is that education that saw this kid transformed from a Kampong boy to a successful executive in the global institution and now based at Houston. Doing his best to raised a family and I believed enjoying doing that. With those godsend kids of theirs, what else would anyone ask for but to enjoy life!.

With such a wonderful host we enjoy our stay there to the fullest. They decided that we should spend a night in San Antonia, a historical city to the west of Houston. To accommodate the whole family our nephew rented a more spacious MPV for the overnight trip to San Antonio. We left Houston after lunch on that sunny afternoon travelling on Highway 46. The Texas plain was flat and the sky was blue all the way. We took it easy and enjoy the 176 miles about 283 kilometers trip with a stop at an R & R on the way. After about three hours of pleasant journey we arrived at San Antonio. With the GPS getting to our final destination, the Hyatt was so simple. The GPS did all the guiding toward our final destination. Now I know how the GPS works and impressed with this technology which is starting to be use in Malaysia. I am going to get one before I return to Malaysia and would surely made travelling in KL and Singapore easy as ABC. Had it not been for the GPS we would have to use our ingenuity to find our way along the Highway and the inner city on our own and often the route we take would not be that easy. With the GPS, the thinking part is done and taken over by the gadget. What we had to do is to put the input of our destination and just follow the direction, Voila! we got to our direction without wasting time.


After checking in, the kids went for a swim at the pool like all kids do, while me and my spouse went out to walk along the River Walk, where part of the walk start right from the lower lobby of the hotel. The San Antonio River Walk is a must visit for tourists. We soon found what a picturesque sight this River Walk is, now throng with tourists. All along the river there are restaurants and souvenir shops. We join in the crowd and enjoy ourselves. After awhile we went back to the hotel to freshen ourselves before going out for dinner with the kids and their mom and dad. We then walk along the river path which by now has been lighted up, turning the whole area into a sort of a fairyland. With the kids around, this time the trip at time became hilarious. We wonder around and end up at a mall where we had dinner at the food court. Since it was late and we all were rather tired after that three hours trip from Houston, we decided to call the day of. Have a nice day.
