re: South Padre Island suggestions

It’s been 16 years, but we stayed at the Holiday Inn near Schlitterbahn. It was fine for us (we weren’t that rich) and the kids were little, so they didn’t care or know any better.

We went to a turtle release, we visited the light house, one day we did Schlitterbahn, it was a fun four days.

Funny story, the first night, our room wasn’t ready when we checked in. They apologized, said they’d get on it, and we went out to eat, came back, and it still hadn’t been cleaned. It’s about 9 o’clock by now. The manager and a maid cleaned it, and they completely comped that first night. Well, it had a bar next to the pool, and you could charge stuff to your room. We used up every bit of that $179 plus about 50 more at the bar over the next three days.

We had a good time there.
