Thumbs up 3/15/07 Texas I35 Road Trip to South Padre

Starting in Arlington (DFW)on March 15 in the morning, my friend Edwin (04 GTO) and I (hopefully with a few others) will make a day long road trip South to South Padre Island (SPI). We will meet up with anyone who will meet up with us at cities along the way. Those cities may include, but are not limited to (depending on who is interested in joining us): Waco, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and finally arriving in SPI. I also need to know where there is a good meeting spot at those places near the highway. So, if any of you are from those areas and know of any, please let me know. Then, on March 16, we will spend the day there...on the beach, chillin. Then make the same road trip back to DFW on the 17th. Who's with us? Or who's interested? Post up.

So far, we have 9 (including me) who say they are sure they are going and 4 maybe's.

More details will come later.

It will be on your own. You probably will want to make reservations TODAY if you want to get any decent hotel nearby. You could reserve a hotel in McAllen or Harlingen if you wish. I'm staying with a friend in Mission. We will meet up at Port Isabel HS parking lot at 10am on the morning of the 16th.

Whataburger -
211 E FM 1382, Cedar Hill, TX
If you’re coming in from Ft. Worth you will take I-20 east. You will exit 1382 heading south. Right before you get to hwy 67, you see the Whataburger on your left side.

If you’re heading South on I-35, exit Centerpoint Rd. Its the same exit you would take to get to the huge San Marcos Outlet Malls, but instead of being on the side of the mall its right across the highway behind a Whataburger.... it would be the west side of the highway.

Meeting Spot in San Antonio…arrive approx. 3:15pm…Depart 3:45pm
Windsor Park Mall
• Take I-35 South to the Walzem exit.
• Turn left into the middle lane under I-35 bridge.
• Turn right into Windsor Park Mall
• Continue right along the outside parameter road of the mall until you see the mall sign that reads "Windsor Park Mall Santikos Theaters"
• Meet at this sign.
• Applebee's will be directly across from you.



Meeting Spot in Port Isabel 3-16-2007… 10am…depart 10:30am to South Padre Island
Port Isabel High School –
101 Port Road, Port Isabel, Texas 78578

The Parking is huge, its right on the Highway to South Padre, and its right about where the traffic ends(depending on what time).

Those of you who are going, be sure to pick up a 2-way radio (you can get one fairly cheap at Wmart or something). It's more fun this way.
