Howdy Y’all. Who’d have thought that a two week holiday to Dallas, Fort Worth Texas would have been so much fun.

The genuine depth of character of the Texas folk wraps you in comfort and welcomes you to America immediately. With the warm Dallas breeze and the sultry, dusky nights, the city will captivate you at first glance. The nights are bright with neon signs, of family friendly restaurants and 24-hour shopping pleasure. The Texas people will serve you from morning till night with an unending supply of good will, good service and attention to your needs.

The twin cities of modern and cosmopolitan Dallas and the old west charm of Fort Worth satisfy all the curiosities of foreign and local travelers alike. The continuing practices of cattle drives and the Fort Worth Stock Yards alongside the ever popular Long Horn Cows of Texas make Fort Worth a thoroughly fulfilling adventure. Alongside the rustic charm of the wild west you are able to experience the glamour of the cowboy and this is only surpassed by the Mesquite Rodeo, which is held every Friday and Saturday night.

Together Dallas and Fort Worth boast World Class professional Ice Hockey, Basketball, Baseball and American Football all year round set in state of the art stadiums, offering encapsulating sports entertainment with all the American tradition you would expect.

For the kids there is Six Flags over Texas which boasts the longest wooden rollercoaster and the highest free fall ride in the world. For those who wish to have a more educational day out there is the Dallas Aquarium, the West End, and the Book Repository where Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F Kennedy.

Both American Airlines and British Airways fly direct daily from Gatwick and we swear by the Anatol Hotel located strategically between the twin cities.
