Which scare port do you fly out of?

Which scare port do you fly out of?

I would prefer the Monroe, Louisiana scareport (that's the way Miss Kitty spells it and when Miss Kitty does it, then we have to do it)

Monroe is only an hour and 15 minutes from our home, but Shreveport, Louisiana is also close, an hour and 45 minutes. Either one of those would be great. The Monroe scareport has a great deal for flying into Houston Hobby, my hubby went this spring to Houston for like $106. What a bargain. :clap_1:

YOU called it scareport....and I LOVE it!!!! That's an idea...try to get down to Houston and visit Galveston. It's not sowal, but they have a great Dickens festival at this time of year. I think it would be better than Dallas!!!

I found a flight on Delta for $275. Check your PM for details.

Sorry, I rarely go to Dallas.
I go to the beach!

I guess there is the new Opryland Hotel in Grapevine (The Gaylord Texan).
We enjoyed it last year at Christmas -- the lights and all. Here's a link:

Oops! Sorry I'm late again as usual!
Anyway, I agree with Miss Kitty, Galveston is really nice at Christmas with the Dickens on the Strand thing. Not sure of the dates though. But keep in mind, Galveston ain't no SoWal! And the water's a "little" different color!

There are lots of thing to do in the Dallas Fort Worth area, including Gaylord Texan which just happens to be where I live! It's sooooooooooooo beautiful at Christmas, but getting in there can be a nightmare with all the "light lookers" (like me!) and the regular hotel parties, etc. Unless you're staying there it's a to deal with.

Six Flags has "Holiday in the Park" which is kinda fun, and gets you in a festive mood.

Most of the major hotels have pretty good New Year's parties...

What are your interests? Got anything in particular in mind?
