I visited my ex fiancee over New Years (dec. 28th through Jan 1) and Austin and San Antonio were both lovely! Especially if you're from any place that experiences SNOW during those winter months...it's a GREAT escape.
I loved living in Austin. Austin has some great night life and lots of music. San Antonio has some amusement parks and the BEAUTIFUL River Walk!
If I could go anywhere I'd pick Austin, Dallas or New Orleans!
Great places!
