Arrived in Texas today, San Antonio, checking out Austin later and then on to Houston. Listened to A1A,TT&S, Beaches for about 7 hours so I'm ready. Texas is a proud State, great food, laid back, a perfect PH match.

That's OK.
I've actually never been there and drive by it almost every day!!!
I ask the same thing, because our keet wants to go for the preparty and I was told it is a cafe and they do serve food.
I imagine cheeseburgers, nachos, etc. but don't really know.
It will be a learning experince for all of us.
But, we are planning on eating a late lunch there :wink:

Hey Bizzz.....You picked a great place to stay. Between the Galleria Area and the Richmond Strip, there are plenty of bars. And if you want to keep your blood pressure down, take the Hardy Toll Road to the Woodlands.....just make sure you have 2 dollars.

Only 6 more days!!!!

So what's the deal at Papa's? Do they have food? Are we allowed to bring our own alcohol and hang out in the parking lot or do we have to go in? Who is the band? I’m driving up tonight and would like to have a game plan for tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

Almost Tiki Time !!!!!

:D :D :D
