Greatest place on earth is Texas "It's like a whole other country"

Yesterday I recieved the 2005 State Travel Guide found alot of great places to visit for that perfect trip . From the Panhandle Plains, Big Bend Country, Hill Country, Prairie and Lakes, Piney Woods, South Texas Plains, and the Gulf Coast. If I won the lottery my dream vacation would be to visit every town in the state first then of course visit the entire U.S.:D Here are some interesting facts about Texas
