I am planning a surprise birthday trip for my husband's 50th to San Antonio on March 14-16th. We have never been there before. It will be my 3 grown children, and my Mother In Law (78). We are flying in and not renting a car to save cost. I am wondering your recommendations on where to stay on the Riverwalk that will not be terribly expensive and be close to all attractions. ALl the hotel sites seem to have different ratings. We need to use the trolley and public transportaion and want to see everything. Any suggestions on restaurants and other things "not to miss" would be great. Thanks.

can anyone recommend a hotel in san antonio that allows small dogs? we're looking for something close to the riverwalk, preferably under $120/night. thanks!

Does anyone have a site that I can go to and book Final Four rooms? Every hotel near the riverwalk is sold out. Is there a local website for rooms? Or is EventHotelRooms.com my best option?
Thanks

I ll be there 4 a week and dont have any idea before packing up my baggages.Please urgent help! Thanx anyway...

Anybody know where I can get some down home cooking in San Antonio? Not BBQ or Mexican food, much as I love both. I mean blue plate specials where the locals eat. Chicken fried steak, pork chops, meat loaf, cornbread, greens --- that kind of food.

I am interested in reserving for the dinner in a restaurant along the riverwalk for Friday 11-23-2007, so we can watch the parade. I can't seem to find any info on restaurant reservation on the internet. Does anyone have idea which restaurants are at good locations for parade viewing? I prefer Italian, Mexican or Chinese restaurants, but they rank below good viewing locations.

Thanks

My husband and I thinking of going to San Antonio this weekend. Being native Texans we have been many, many times already.

My wife, 19 year old son and I will be in San Antonio the first of June. We really enjoy eating at local restaurants. Can anyone help us with some of the locally owned restaurants? We will be staying downtown but will have transportation. Alos, what are the best places to shop? Any outlet malls? Also, what are the must things to see and experience - the Alamo, etc. Thanks for your help!

I have visited San Antonio a couple of times and we love it....we even went last August to get a taste of what a summer would be like. My family is originally from Texas and I was raised and live on California's Central Coast and the weather is always great, but the idea of one parent staying home is worth it to us giving up the great weather.

We have four children (6, 11, 13, 14) and would like to know what areas in SA have great public schools? I was looking at Castle Hills area.....is anyone familiar with this part of SA? The public and private schools in Castle Hills? Or perhaps there are other great places in SA to raise my family, please feel free to recommend. Any information would be appreciated.

Also, my background is in finance/accounting.....are there career opportunities close to Castle Hills?

Thanks.
