TexCation – Travel on budget
(...)
As the website speaks for itself, this is “TexCation”, more focused within the State of Texas. Most of the blog posts will be around Houston as that is where I am based in right now, but I do travel quite often to Dallas, Texas, and San Antonio and will be posting about those major cities as well.
