Do's and Don'ts for Dallas

Since I have now had the opportunity to visit the great city of Dallas three times and each trip has been a little different I decided I would compile a list of those things to do and not to do while in Dallas!! Keeping in mind this is only my opinion!

DO's

  • Fly into Dallas-Love Field Airport (check in 10 minutes, security 10 minutes, wait for plane 10 minutes)

  • Shop at the Galleria or outlet mall.

  • Visit the JFK Memorial and Museum

  • Take a trusty GPS

  • Stay at the Embassy Suites on Northwest Highway or Hilton Garden Inn off I-35

  • Eat at Pappadeaux's Seafood Kitchen

  • Eat at Pappas Brother's Steak House

  • Drive through Highland Park area of Dallas as it has some very beautiful homes.

  • Pay someone $10 to change your flat for you!

  • Do go to Sonics during their Happy Hour for a Cherry Limeade (as like Starbucks, there is one on every corner!)

  • Eat dinner at Texas de Brazil


DON'Ts

  • Fly into Dallas-Ft.Worth Airport - it has the tendency to close down after the smallest of rain storms

  • Don't shop at the 24-hr Wal-mart with a clothes snob!

  • Don't stand on the spot that JFK was shot as it is a major freeway on ramp!

  • Don't rely on the cheap GPS you brought with you as it will most likely have you running around in circles!

  • Don't stay at the Holiday Inn down the street from the airport

  • Don't eat at Taco Cabana

  • Don't eat at Pappas Bros BBQ.

  • Never let the engineers from Associated Air pick the steakhouse to eat at as you will run up a very expensive food/bar bill.

  • Don't drive around the neighborhoods of downtown as they are very scary!

  • Never believe that AAA will show up in 60 minutes to fix a flat.

  • Don't eat at Texas de Brazil if you have had a big lunch!
