    Welcome to Texas! You should definitely head through the German towns and Texas Hill Country to Houston & Galveston after you're finished in Austin. You're in Whataburger territory now, which has a bigger menu than In-N-Out and is usually open 24 hours. Houston is the 4th biggest city and the most diverse population in America.
    Literally, they have one of everything there. The biggest Buc-ees is in New Braunfels, though the one in Texas City isn't too small also. Visit NASA and see the Texas Gulf Coast. Home to the worst hurricane in American history and the worst industrial accident, the Texas City Disaster too! This is a great time of the year to visit here. Come see Galveston before the world's biggest biker rally shows up in early November. You'll eat good here.

    Hi Kym. Are countries asking for a vaccination certificate or a current COVID test result or both?

    I endurance raced at COTA this weekend and this vid popped up. No real travel to Austin, its just 140 miles from my front door.

    Buc-ee's, my favorite stop on the road! Have yet to try In-N-Out for a burger. I just heard that Danica Patrick will be joining Sky Sports F1 for the race broadcast.

    Next time you're at In-n-Out ask for your burger "Animal Style" 10/10 would recommend if you haven't.

    You counted the pumps right. It’s just that the are counted twice because of each side.

    Great video Kym! Is it correct that you’re allowed to shoot in the paddock again this weekend?
