A True South Texas Steakhouse

If you are ever traveling down Hwy 90 west of San Antonio, you will pass through the small town of D’hanis, Texas. Make sure you there around meal time. There is a steak house named Bill and Rosa’s.

I have had several of their entrees including their steaks. They do cook steaks the way you order them. Rare means Rare and medium means medium. I assume all other levels are cooked to the correct doneness also.

Now, if you are looking for that Texas delicacy called a Chicken Fried Steak, look no more. One word of warning, though. When you order the large and the waitress warns you, it is for a reason. It is big , tender and good. I did make a happy plate, but it is not a weight watchers meal.

They have live entertainment in the evenings.

I would definitely recommend this place if traveling in that direction toward Del Rio. You will not be disappointed

They Can’t Destroy My TravelPro Expandable Roll Aboard

Over my many years of business travel I have gone through a lot of luggage because of “the airline baggage handlers renewal program”. I have had all the big names and a lot of “cheap” brands I had never heard of. You definitely get what you pay for. Never has it been more true than now.

With the addition of fees for checked baggage, carry-on bags are being over stuffed. Over head bins are filling faster. It seems that the over-stuffing and checking of bags is taking its toll on more and more pieces of luggage. Read more

Interstate Restaurant Review:Dixie Cafe – Seguin Texas

While driving from San Antonio to Houston this weekend we stopped at the Dixie Cafe in Seguin Texas. It is located on Interstate 10 at state highway 46.

They have general CAFE fare along with daily specials. I had eaten there a couple of times and the food was good both times. Their salads are really good and their side selections have some superstars. the loaded potato’s and the spinach souffle are among the standouts Read more

Restaurant Review: Hermanson’s Steak House in Hondo Texas

Driving out to the ranch on Fathers day weekend we passed through Hondo Texas about noon. Actually it was too close to Noon. Everyone was getting hungry so we decided to stop at Hermansons Steakhouse. I had not been there in over 30 years, but I guessed that they were still good since they were still around.

When we got in, I realized that nothing had changed since aI was last there. I mean Nothing. The food was still good. The only difference was that there was a long line to get in. They did work through the line rather quickly. Our wait was about 25 minutes. If we had arrived a half hour earlier or later, it would have been a much shorter wait. Read more

Review – SimpleTech Portable Hard Drive

Any business traveler knows that keeping their data on their laptop backed up is very important. Also, no matter how large the internal hard drive on your laptop, it will get full quickly. I am no different so I am always looking for a solution to these two issues

I was in an electronics superstore a few weeks ago looking for a portable hard drive to solve these problems. I cam across a drive that was on sale called a SimpleTech. This particular model had 320 GB of storage. Read more

Can’t decide on which island? Oahu is the answer!!!!

Having been to almost all of the Hawaiian Islands many people ask me which Island they should visit on their Aloha Vacation. I always tell them that if can only see one, make it Oahu. I visit there about every other trip to Hawaii and always find new things to do as well as the old familiar standby’s.

What ever your budget, there is a hotel that will fit right in. From the true bargain hotels to those visited by the rich and famous, there will be a perfect match for you and your family. Read more

Review of American Express Platinum Card Services

American Express Platinum Card

I have held the American Express platinum card for about 10 years. I have been more than pleased with the service. Though the price is high for this charge card, it includes many special services. The American Express membership Miles Program is one of them. This normally carries an extra fee for membership, but this is included in the annual fee. Read more
