Fairwind Executive Inn Brownsville

Meghan and I were able to shoot the 300 Mag. in this afternoon. We were not able to find and Elk life size target for practice, but had to settle for this Whitetail Deer. She shot this target and scored in the Harvest Zone from 100, 200, 250 & 300 Yards.
All we need now is the Elk to walk out in front of her once we are hunting.

Up to date hunting and trip photos would be nice for everyone to enjoy. I will keep everyone posted.

Hello All. We have really enjoyed our stay in Brownsville, TX to visit Jerry's parents. We don't see them often and it is always bittersweet when the visit nears an end.

We went out for a casual dinner with the parents and Jerry's brother, Juan, and wife Vivian. Then it was back to the hotel to begin packing up our belongings.

Our first full day in Brownsville, TX...I am working this week, so most of my day is spent at the hotel. Jerry visits with his parents in the morning, then picks up the kids to do something fun in the afternoon.

We got our visa papers from Mexican Customs, and immediately boarded the first bus to Monterrey! Once on the bus we felt fairly safe, and even dozed off for a few hours! There's no turning back now!

October 25th Another beautiful day with a high of 27 we decided to take the day of, our bums were a little tender and we wanted to see a couple of sites in Downtown Austin. Our first stop was an exquisite hotel called the Driskill... wow talk about absolute opulence. They just spent 40 million in renovations. It is one of America's finest hotels.

... Brownsville (great choice of name) at 'Paul's RV Resort' they told us that there was a Valentine's dance tonight. What could be better? There's even a band. Decided to slow our pace and give ourselves a week here before going to Mexico. Got the dogs checked at the vet and organized for insurance. Paul's RV Resort is full of Canadians and has a lively social calendar - a dance last night, talent competition tonight and jam session tomorrow.

... unless we find a Starbucks, or some other place with free wi-fi), so expect plenty of unexplained mobile updates during our stay there(we can actually send pictures to our blog through Rick's camera phone!).....here's are update from Brownsville... July 11th- down to the Border! So today we went on our next adventure- down to Brownsville, Texas, which is literally on the border with Mexico. Our hotel is actually 1 block from the Rio Grande River ...

... 19 net, so things like this carry weight when you’re on a budget. Greyhound’s not especially costly, but long and slow. This is the age of hitch-hiking, too, back when you’d 'go hitch-hiking’ just for fun, but a cheap flight once in a while is a luxury.
