Take in a Movie and a Meal in Austin

By owhitham | Published: September 1, 2011

Austin has a lot to offer, but a great way to end an iPhone guided tour is to stop off at one of the Alamo Drafthouse theaters scattered around the city of Austin which provide something a little bit special.

To start with the Alamo offers more than just the latest blockbusters.  From classic films to music mash-ups, you will find a huge selection.  As well as just showing these movies you also get sing alongs, quote alongs, and music video mashups.

It doesn’t stop at movies either, each Alamo Drafthouse location provides a fantastic menu of delicious food to accompany your meal, along with a selection of popular and local beers, wines, and cocktails.

What makes the Alamo special for locals and tourist alike is just how unique the Drafthouse is, from the pre-screening ‘quiet’ messages to their selection, you will definitely have a good time.

Your choice of theater is not limited to the Alamo. There are art-house theaters such as the Violet Crown. You can also find plenty of mainstream movies if you just want to catch the latest hit!

Cool Things to Do in the Austin Heat

By owhitham | Published: July 15, 2011

The temperature is hotting up here in Austin, with ever day over the hundreds, the rivers running dry and the population staying in the shade, we are all looking for cool things to do in the Austin Heat. Fortunately Austin is filled with some awesome ways to beat the heat, and still have a great time no matter how high the numbers get this year!

The first cool thing to do in Austin is to go down to Barton Springs, a lot of people know about this, so it can get a little busy, but this cool swimming pool stays at 68 degrees, no matter how hot it gets! Barton Springs is a spring fed pool, complete with rocks, weeds and more.  While the first time a strand of plant-life stokes your leg you may feel a little freaked out, you will soon get used to swimming in a back to nature environment.

If you are looking to go for a meal or a drink rather than a dip, check out some of Austin’s bars and Restaurants, with misters in full effect at many Austin establishments you can enjoy a fine cool mist to keep you cool while you relax outside, and of course there will always be A/C going in every place you visit.

There are of course a few ways to do both, you can easily rent a boat out on Lake Austin and go for a swim, or maybe rent out a slightly cheaper rubber tube and float down the Guadeloupe River!

One of my favorite ways to stay entertained in the heat of austin is head down to the Alamo Draughthouse, where you can watch a movie, eat some great food and have a refreshing drink in A/C controlled bliss!

The Top 3 Travel Tips

By owhitham | Published: March 17, 2011

With my top 3 travel tips I will be giving you three fantastic pieces of travel advice which will help you find even more great experiences on your holidays, and keep you a little bit safer.

When you go to different parts of the world, be it a new city, a new state, or even a new country, you always have to be a little bit more careful. While there are some amazing places out there to visit, there are also those people who are willing to exploit those who are disorientated in a new city.

With my Top 3 travel tips I will show you how to avoid the pickpockets, and find the very best in every place you visit.

My first tip is all about how you act in a new place. The best advice I can give anyone when traveling is to try not to act like a tourist. This might seem simple enough, but many people don’t realize how some little mannerisms can give them away.

The best way to avoid looking like a tourist is to learn about where you are planning to visit, learn a few of the streets names around where you are staying so you can walk around comfortably. Make sure that you know enough to not rely on a guide book as you tour a new city.

This leads on to my second tip, buy a guide! While you shouldn’t use a guide in public, using a guide book in moderation, or using a tool such as an iPhone guided tour app will help you find some of the hidden secrets in every city, while avoiding the things that are not worth your precious traveling time.   While using a personal tour or a guidebook in each city can be fun, it can also get expensive.  iPhone tour guides on the other hand are incredibly cheap, and you get GPS guided tours around some of the world’s most famous cities!

My third and final tip is meet the locals. The locals really can tell you how to avoid the tourist crowds, and instead find the real side of the city that the locals love so much! Whether it is at the bar, or down at the park, talk to people! You would be surprised at just how much people are willing to tell you about their city if you just show a little interest in it!
