Coincidentally, I noticed Austin mentioned as a travel destination in a couple of magazines over the last few weeks, so I thought I’d add to the theme of the last post.

• The Fall 2008 issue of Ty Pennington At Home mentions Austin under Ty Travels on page 100. It mentions Casino El Camino among a few other places around town. Don’t ask me how I know that. The Wife bought it. Really.
• Budget Travel magazine named Austin a top domestic budget travel destination for 2009 along with Washington DC and Hawaii. They cite SXSW, ACL and outdoor activities as the draw.

Despite the downturn, we seem to be a travel destination of choice.
