10 Easy Weekend Trips from Austin
Austin is one of those rare cities where a Friday afternoon flight can have you barefoot, poolside, and ordering dinner somewhere much breezier by nightfall — then back home by Monday with almost no vacation time sacrificed.
So we skipped the sprawling itineraries and went straight to the good part: beautiful resorts, adults-only escapes, beach weekends, golf trips, and easy group getaways where the hotel itself is the destination.
