Visiting Austin Texas For a Convention

Austin, Texas is the capital of Texas and home of the University of Texas. It's a lively town well known for its live music scene, outdoor activities, and good food. This, along with an eclectic variety of shopping options, makes it the perfect place to hold a convention.

Best Locations in Austin for Conventions

There are many Austin convention center hotels throughout the area. Many of them are located downtown, which conveniently puts attendees to Austin conventions in close proximity to the myriad shopping and dining opportunities there. Several Austin convention center hotels can be found on the shores of some of the beautiful lakes in Austin, like Lady Bird Lake, which is close to downtown and the famous Sixth Street, with the added plus of having easy access to the waterfront and all the activities available there.

Things to See and Do in Austin

While Austin conventions may keep attendees busy, there are plenty of things to see and do in Austin. Start on Austin's Sixth Street, wandering in and out of bars and restaurants and listening to live music. Or, check out Third Street, Sixth Street's less touristy counterpart. Sample some of Austin's amazing restaurants - Texas barbecue, authentic Mexican food, and Tex-Mex are a must. Austin also has many food trucks that prepare any kind of food imaginable - cupcakes, tacos, Korean food, crepes, empanadas, fried chicken and waffles, and so much more. Go shopping, or just wander up and down South Congress and visit the variety of unique stores. Try kayaking or taking a boat tour on Lady Bird Lake. Go swimming in Barton Springs Pool, which is fed from underground springs and maintains an average temperature year-round of 68 degrees.

Austin is also home to multiple running, hiking, and biking trails. Take a guided or self-guided tour of the State Capitol building, see the mass exodus of bats from under the Congress Avenue Bridge, or visit the Austin Museum of Art.

Austin conventions are great not only because of the many fantastic Austin convention center hotels, but also because the city itself is full of fun things to do and see. Go shopping, dine out, or just stroll through downtown - the possibilities are endless.

Disney World Tips and Secrets
Disney World Tips and Secrets ==UPDATED: March 2012 following reader feedback ==

If you have just booked your first vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort, or you've been before and felt you missed out on the magic, then you should read this book. If you're a seasoned Disney World visitor then you probably won't learn much more from any guidebook - save your money and treat yourself to a Dole Whip instead :)

The insider information you need to know to make sure your Disney World vacation is filled with fun and laughter written by bestselling author Clare Swindlehurst.

Planning a Disney World vacation isn't as simple as organising a trip to the beach but knowing where to start can be notoriously difficult.

This book will help.

Inside the covers you'll find more than 500 Disney World tips and secrets that will give you the knowledge you need to plan a great vacation for you and your family.

Want to know how to save money on a Disney World Resort hotel, or whether your employee status can get you into the parks for free? What about how to have your holiday photos taken by a professional at no extra charge or the quickest way to get to the Magic Kingdom?

I'll answer all of those questions and more, including letting you know the best seats in the house for the popular attractions, the 'secret' entrances to the parks that most guests ignore and how to get into the Magic Kingdom before it opens so you can take a picture of the castle with no one blocking your view.

New for 2012 I've included some bonus chapters to tell you:
- how to enjoy Disney Dining even with food allergies
- how to avoid making mistakes with your Disney Dining reservations
- why Disney World is the perfect destination for a romantic break
- your guide to Disney transportation
- how to celebrate your birthday at Disney World (it really is the best place on earth to have a birthday!)
- what you should do if it rains on your Disney World vacation

Trust me, you won't want to plan your Disney World vacation until you've read this book!

Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration
Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration If anyone could corner the millennium, Disney could. In presenting the theme music to its millennium celebration at Epcot Center in Florida, the megacorporation attempts a grand, musical year-2000 salute. Naturally, World Millennium Celebration weaves plenty of fiery brass, warm sting passages, stirring voices, and a mix of space romance and Earth adventure into the fabric of this fantasy work. Executive Music Producer Steve Skorija's task seems to be providing a backdrop for live performance, a scrim to unfurl behind the spectacle. And in doing so, the themes "Reflections of Earth," "We Go On," "Tapestry of Nations," "Promise," and "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand" (complete as a gospel version as well) have an "Up with People" undercurrent that is ambiguous even as it is mildly diverting. On those merits, Millennium Celebration succeeds as a score. But for sheer entertainment value, the CD needs to give us more of the legendary mouse's magic and less of its roar. --Martin Keller

A Goofy Movie (Walt Disney Gold Collection)
A Goofy Movie (Walt Disney Gold Collection) Even as Disney has reveled in the success of its high-end animated features, it occasionally sneaks a lesser effort into theaters, based on one of the many TV shows with which it dominates daytime TV. This one is based on perennial Disney favorite Goofy's adventures in domesticated bliss. Goofy is now a single dad; when son Max gets blamed for a prank gone wrong at school, Goofy blames himself and decides that, for his vacation, he's going to get away with Max alone. Of course, this is no treat for Max, who has just met the girl of his dreams and harbors no wish to spend the summer touring America with his square dad. The vacation is one disaster after another, though they aren't particularly funny disasters; the culmination involves Goofy's efforts to get Max backstage at a big rock concert. Strictly for young fans of the TV show. --Marshall Fine

The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World
The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World Though it's neither as comprehensive nor as elegantly presented as The Music of Disney: A Legacy in Song, this compilation is an enjoyable sampler of music from Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Naturally, the music's good for reliving memories of the parks, but when listened to at home, the best selections reveal previously unnoticed complexity. The oldest recordings, like "The Tiki Tiki Room" and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" (from the Haunted Mansion ride), are seamless show tunes that grapple inventively with the limitations of analog and mono. And the Main Street Electrical Parade theme song is a freaked-out Moog marathon that must be heard to be believed. This disc offers one of the best uses yet for your CD player's "program" function--pick out the songs like you'd pick out a ride, and never wait in line! --John Sanchez
