TY for posting this. I forgot all about it.
I've always had an interest in the Alamo and what happened there. I even loved the recent re-make of the Alamo...though there are a few Freepers who'd disagree with me on that.
I hope to visit it some day.
San Antonio is a great vacation spot. It is a major convention center so there are pleanty of hotels downtown. The river walk is a series of resteraunts along the river catered to outdoor dining. There is a Sea World and Six Flags over Texas. Schlitterbaun is one of the best water parks in the country (Its about 30 miles up the road in New Braunfels) and Austin is only a little over an hour away if you are interested in the Texas Capital and the History Of Texas museam.
Make sure you get to see the Basement while you're there...
