Passengers can sample Houston’s diverse culinary offerings, visit San Antonio’s historic mission and redeveloped brewery precinct for shopping and dining, then watch the landscape open into desert panoramas that lead toward mountain-adjacent small towns and gateway access to a major national park for hiking and wilderness exploration." - Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks Caroline Eubanks is a Lowell Thomas Award-winning travel writer and the author of “This Is My South: The Essential Travel Guide to the Southern States.” Her work has been published by Condé Nast Traveler, Garden & Gun, Architectural Digest, and more.
