Hi Cindy,
ROFL! I wish I could say I got to explore Austin but all my trips this year were client related.
Although, I became quite familiar with the Holiday Inn & Suites Austin Airport. :)
I'll have to plan a fun trip. Are you in?

I presume it's only for that particular location? How far is it from the airport? It's a pretty nifty little selling point and probably doesn't cost them too much assuming it's close to the airport.

Hi William,
Possibly, but I'm going to Google and see what other HI's offer free limo pickup. It's 2 miles from the airport. It's definitely a conversation starter. :)
