In April 2022, we all went to Texas for a short week-long vacation to Austin and Houston. Austin was the first stop and we had a long journey arriving there. First, a two-hour flight from Tunis to Frankfurt and then a 9-hour flight from Frankfurt to Houston. Arriving in Houston at 4 PM, we then had to navigate a rental car shuttle to pick up our car and then proceeded to drive 3 hours to Austin all while jetlagged and tired. I drank about 4 cups of coffee to stay awake but we did make it. For the next three days, we ate a lot of Taco Bell, saw a couple of parks, and took Aiden to the children’s museum. In addition, we saw one of the main attractions, which were bats who fly daily at Sunset from underneath a bridge to another area of the city. We found a good burger place and enjoyed the American breakfast at Hyatt Place. It was great to be back in America! Houston was next which was the wedding destination and it turned out well seeing our family and being there in person for Vishal’s wedding. Ajay and his family were there along with Mom-Pop, Arti-Suraj, and Sapna. A great time filled with nice memories! We’ll return in July for one month of home leave which should be awesome as well!
