There are always possibilities

And if you're in a "possibility" frame of mind, you can usually see some. The first thing we tried was to change the dates for our trip to San Antonio. But when it turned out that changing the tickets would more than double the cost, I started to look for other options. If Richard can't see his sister for ten days from the date he started taking antibiotics, then we would be in San Antonio for three days before he could see her. The hotel, as it turns out, costs less than half as much as it would cost to change the tickets. Now you gotta ask yourself, is there really something terribly wrong with having three days in San Antonio BEFORE we visit our family? I mean it's not like SA is a terrible place to be. True, Fiesta doesn't start until the weekend, but even so, there is always the Alamo. I mean there MUST be something fun to do in San Antonio. So I went ahead and booked the hotel.

Now it turns out that Gary and Carmen, our cousins from Colorado, are going to meet us there. So those first couple of days just got themselves an awesome agenda. We get to hang with our favorite cousins.

So the only thing to do now is check out the San Antonio webpage and see what's going on.
