We subscribed to this free travel service group and used them for a trip to Amarillo.
The trip was three days, two nights, and packed with included excursions. We took a coach bus from San Antonio direct to Amarillo. The hotel we were booked into was decent. The first evening we ate at a delicious steakhouse directly next to the hotel.
Here is the itinerary for the trip: it was FANTASTIC!
