If not too late, Linda. Went there years ago with two children. As I recall one island is a national park, so probably few accomodations, unless you camp or tavel with camper. Other one, more southerly I recall, is the busier tourist island. When we visited everything filled up early and we had to return to Brownsville for lodging.
Final caveat: Be careful of too much sun. My son and I jogged and he got badly burned.
Hope you will have/ or had a good trip. (Over to Mexico afterwards?)
Lowville,
Thanks for the information; I will careful in the sun. Mexico???? I don't know, I have never been there
and I'm probably too scared to go.
Of course I crossed the Border from Brownsville, TX. before 9/11 so I'm sure Security is tighter now. And I assume you have a passport, living not too far from Canada (just as i do.) We just walked across/ or could take a Bus. Never tried to drive in Mexico. I'm not that daring.
Should be lots of souvenirs and food. Remember Bottled water.
But lying on a beach in the Padre islands sounds inviting as winter gets closer.
Have a good trip. Remember it's an adventure. Report back Linda.
