Featured getaway: San Antonio, Texas
Mission San Jose.
If you tried to imagine a place where the sights, sounds and flavors of Native America, Old Mexico and the Wild West blend effortlessly with the hustle and bustle of a modern city, it would probably look a lot like San Antonio. Each year more than eight million people visit the shining star of Texas, and it's easy to see why. The Alamo, a famous fort where Texans fought fiercely for independence from Mexico, is just one of the many historic landmarks the city has to offer. Light a candle at the magnificent San Fernando Cathedral or peruse adobe architecture, exhibits and period furnishings at the Casa Navarro State Historical Park. Named after a key figure in the fight for freedom in Texas, the park is located right downtown and offers free guided tours. Roam along the multi-faceted River Walk, a two and a half-mile stretch of cobblestone and flagstone paths along the San Antonio River. If the kids are along, be sure to stop at HemisFair Urban Park and SeaWorld. Past or present, old or young, San Antonio offers something for everyone.

J.R. may be gone but Dallas is alive and well. Like most major urban hubs, the city boasts an array of interesting attractions and activities. But in Dallas, as in most of Texas, they are somehow bigger and better. Visit the massive Dallas Art Museum to view permanent collections of African, European and American art or special exhibitions. The city is also big on children's attractions, making it a popular destination for families. Spend the morning at the Zoo and then head over to the Aquarium for a marine life extravaganza. History buffs won't want to miss the Sixth Floor Museum, an exhibition pertaining to the life and assassination of John F. Kennedy. Nature enthusiasts can go for a bike ride or hike through White Rock Lake Park. As in most world-class cities, Dallas offers a range of accommodations from grand historic hotels to budget digs. The city's restaurants may differ in price and cuisine but the portions are always - you guessed it - large.
