Hello fellow Travel Hackers! Have you ever thought about exploring the great state of Texas with your family, but weren't sure where to start or how to make the most of your points and miles? In this episode, we take you on a journey through some of Texas' best family-friendly hotels and resorts, and it's an adventure you won't want to miss. Imagine relaxing in the rustic charm of Hyatt Lost Pines near Austin. This place is more than just a hotel – it's a family adventure waiting to happen. Think lazy rivers, water slides, and even nightly s'mores! If downtown Austin is calling your name, the Hyatt Regency offers the perfect base for city explorations. We share why this spot is a foodie's paradise for urban adventurers. Then, we whisk you away to San Antonio, where the Hyatt Hill Country and Hyatt Regency on the Riverwalk offer vastly different yet equally amazing experiences. Imagine being steps away from the iconic Riverwalk or lounging in a newly remodeled resort with a lazy river. Of course, we couldn't skip Dallas and Houston, where the Hyatt options cater to every kind of traveler. Whether you're after a staycation in the Woodlands or a cultural dive in downtown Dallas, we've got the scoop on where to stay and how to maximize those points for an unforgettable experience. In this episode, we don't just list hotels – we dive into what makes each place special. From dining must-dos to family fun activities, we've covered it all. And we haven't forgotten the practicalities either. We talk points, hotel categories, and how to squeeze every ounce of value from your travel hacking efforts. Join us in this episode as we explore the Lone Star State like true travel hackers. Whether you're planning a family trip or just dreaming of one, we've got plenty of inspiration and tips to share!
