The Driskill I think its about the best downtown. Sorry, but I can not help you with BBQ. I never get the chance when I'm on the road. Cheers from DOWNUNDER
2 :
Not sure about the BBQ but I know you can find the best hotel deals on this site. I use them all the time to travel and have been very happy with how many choices they provide on one page
3 :
There are some places around Congress Avenue that are just outside of downtown. The two nicest ones (in my opinion) are the Hyatt Regency and Embassy Suites. Just check the websites. Also, it may be a little bit crowded in the holiday shopping season, but the Arboretum is a nice place to stay. There is another Embassy Suites, and one of my personal favorites, the Renaissance (owned by marriott.) Most of the other nice hotels are either in a sketchy neighborhood or right by the highway. Getting one downtown isn't a bad idea, but then parking/transportation gets a little crazy. At any hotel you check into, there will undoubtedly be either a person or a list that can tell you about the best BBQ places in town . Have a nice trip.

I'd say for a good BBQ, you can try Lamberts Downtown Barbecue. Good restaurant, average priced. Get a hotel near here, not necessarily to be in downtown as transport is of no issue here. Take a look at the links I've porvided for your reference and to help you decide better.. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g30196-d800621-Reviews-Lamberts_Downtown_Barbecue-Austin_Texas.html http://www.holidaycity.com/austinhotels/ have a safe journey!

Restaurant Jezebel downtown has it on their menu, and I've heard it's really good. Looks like this place has it too: http://www.yelp.com/biz/joes-bar-and-grill-austin#hrid:AdaOa5q-rA26fGZayNLF6Q/query:bananas%20foster

1 :
go to Mapquest and type in your starting place and your final destination, it'll give you the mileage and estimated travel time.
2 :
It depends on how fast you drive and how often you stop, but you should allow the better part of a day.
3 :
469 miles give or take - depending on where in Austin you are. about 9 hours 30 minutes to travel
4 :
It takes us about 7 1/2 hours from San Antonio. So 8 1/2 is probably a safe bet. Its a long drive, but well worth it. Big Bend is one of my favorite places in the state. If you are out that way, go to the Davis Mountains area, too.
5 :
That's about 450 miles; most of the highways along the way have a 70 mile-per-hour limit, so you're looking at about 6 and a half hours. Of course, it's a good thing to stop for gas now and then; be SURE to fill up before you enter the park, as the gas station at the north entrance was the only one, the last time I was there.

Can someone describe how to travel with a newborn on a plane?
My son will only be 6 weeks old when we are travelling from Austin to Las Vegas and I was just curious as to other people's experiences and any advice you might have. Thanks! Newborn & Baby - 11 Answers

1 :
you want to make sure he nurses on a bottle or pacifer when the plane lands and takes off. It helps to pop his ears. Make sure your airline allows carseats! never hold the baby in your lap!!
2 :
A lot of parents I know give baby Tylenol or baby Motrin before they get on the plane. It helps them sleep and keeps them from being uncomfortable with the change in air pressure.
3 :
Adults are able to chew gum ETC to keep their ears from popping and hurting. Babies of course are not, so it is recommended that you allow the baby to suck on a bottle, pacifier or something similar to help equalize the pressure in the ear.

We flew with our daughter at 3 weeks! It is actually a great age to fly because they are so little and do not need much entertainment yet. What helps a lot is having a baby bjorn or a sling. I would not even take a stroller. You can take your car seat to the gate and check it there if there are no extra seats. I think most airlines will put families by the extra seats if there are any. Also, bring extra outfits for all of you. Just in case he spits up on you, your won't have to smell the spit up for hours. An extra top is huge! For feeding on the plane, if you are BFing I suggest the window seat. If you feel shy, your husband/partner can hold up a blanket. We took safety pins with us to pin up a blanket, but it was no big deal. As far as ears popping, our daughter has never had that probelm thankfully! Pacifiers or nursing can help. If he really cries, you should walk up and down the aisle or at least go to the bathroom. People will understand, don't worry!

I travelled from Vancouver BC to Michigan when my daughter was 6 weeks old. It was a good trip, she slept most of the way and I was breastfeeding so I didn't have to worry about bottles etc. The only thing that I could have done differently was to pack more sleepers. I had the one she was wearing, plus two in my diaper bag. She soiled them both before we left the Vancouver airport. I had to wash them in the bathroom and use a hand dryer to dry them. I would pack at least 4 extra. You can bring the carseat right on the plane, and if they have an empty seat somewhere they'll move you so you can strap the seat in. It was really helpful. I hope this helps, and pack lots of snacks for yourself. The carseat is really heavy to pack around the airport, never mind going for something to eat as well. Have a good trip.
6 :
Just from past experience, I have little brothers and my mom took with them on planes. Have your son drink something when taking off and landing, that way his ears don't pop, it's the same as if you were to chew gum.
7 :
Walk aboard and sit down in chair, if you have any questions ask.
8 :
what we do is putting something in the ears of the baby. I just had a long flight with my baby son and he his not cried while taking of or landing. Keep everyting ready as diapers, toys, milk, clean cloths and be patient. Good luck
9 :
As far as I know, and I could be totally wrong, an infant is supposed to be 4 months before being put on a plane. Their bodies are too delicate to handle the pressure and other issues that come with flying. Double check with your doctor and your airline before you fly.
10 :
Make sure you have a FTA certified car seat...otherwise they may not let you on the place
11 :
First, when you check in at the gate, make sure they know your baby will be traveling in a rear Facing infant seat. Airplane seats are so close together that the person in front of you will not be able to lower their seat and will 'piss' them off. If you are traveling with a partner, book their seat in front of the baby so this isn't an issue. Second, take the baby in for a check-up the day before you travel, to make sure there isn't any illness that hasn't presented it's self yet (one time flying with a child with an ear infection and you'll learn this the hard way). Third, make sure the baby is well fed and changed right before you board. Your flight shouldn't be to long so hopefully he won't need to eat again but keep a pacifer on hand just in case. Good luck. He's so little, he'll probably sleep the whole time anyway!

Contact your local breed club. I found the website for the Dallas Fort Worth Labrador Retriever Club. http://www.dfwlrc.org/ If you contact them, they should be able to point you in the right direction. Usually breed clubs are composed of a small group of people dedicated to bettering their chosen breed.
