Texas – 3 Days – Fort Worth, Dallas and Grapevine
Texas is more than just cowboys and oil rigs, some of the most amazing galleries and museums can be found in the cities of Texas. Dallas Fort Worth Airport is the 4th busiest airport in the US so there is a good chance you will be routed through there at some point. More and more it’s a gateway to the country from abroad. The Fort Worth, Dallas, Grapevine area has so much to offer that it’s a crime not to allow at least 3 days to take in the regions culture, old towns, unique history and of course Barbeque! You will be richly rewarded.

Synonymous with the assassination of JFK – The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, formerly the Texas School Book Depository, does a great job describing the period preceding the fateful day in November 1963 and the events of the day itself.
