After my original review on Yelp in 03/17/2016, I received several messages from a person who at first only identified himself as "Preston" who insisted I tell him the names of the bride and groom. I of course did not want the bride and groom hounded so I did not provide that information to Preston. It's not the bride and grooms fault that their gift was deleted. It was at that point that I made the conscious decision to end communications with Preston. Now it's been over 2 years since my original post and "Preston" is still commenting on the post.

Since the reviewer lives in California and we show no activity for any of our brides from any persons outside of Texas, we believe that this review is for a different Odyssey Travel than the Odyssey Travel located in San Antonio, TX. Odyssey Travel is a family owned travel agency in San Antonio, TX. On our web site, we offer a free service to our brides that book with us the opportunity to use a bridal registry operated and maintained by HoneymoonWishes.com co-branded with our agency name. These types of bridal registries operate in one of two ways - either charging a service fee to the purchaser of a wedding gift or donation or charging a service fee to the bride. HoneyWishes.com charges a service fee to cover their cost and operations to the purchaser. This is explained by HoneymoonWishes.com in their terms and conditions on the website. I reached out by private communication with the reviewer trying to find out who the bride and groom was because we were never notified by any of our brides that we sold honeymoon packages that they were using the HoneymoonWishes.com website for their bridal registry. The response that I received was that "Whom am I and why am I responding. I explained that my wife and i own Odyssey Travel and were trying to determine what happen. I did not receive any further response. Since it was nothing that we as a travel agency did that impacted on any part of the bride and grooms wedding or honeymoon nor do we know even it was one of our clients, I feel the review is completely in error and does not reflect the quality service that we provide our clients. We are removing HoneynioonWishes from our website as a free service for any of our future brides and grooms to avoid any future problems such as what Tara t experienced. I believe that her review and feelings about HoneyWishes.com would be better directed to that company instead of Odyssey Travel.

Several days before I was to attend a wedding I purchased 2 gift certificates as wedding gifts from this website. Unknown to me, they charged me an extra large 'service and handling fee' for those items so I sent an email questioning their extra high fee (I thought they charged me double). They responded with a canned answer about credit card fees and said that IF I wanted my gift to the bride and groom refunded/returned to let them know. I didn't bother responding to them because their email was phrased in such a way that ONLY if I responded would they take action to return/refund the gift I purchased. Of course I didn't want the wedding gift returned so I figured this issue was done and closed. Four days AFTER the wedding I got an EMAIL (!) telling me that Odyssey Travel has returned/refunded my gift to me (along with their extra large service charge). The bride and groom never got the gift I purchased for them, all because I questioned Odyssey Travel's extra high fees. What the heck?!? Buyer beware, their 'service and handling fees' may be hidden somewhere deep down in their website. I wouldn't know for sure though, I was never able to find their posted fees.

This has been a horrible experience. I booked a vacation to Vegas with a large group of people. When I received my flight itinerary my name was misspelled. I called and spoke with Lupe. She seemed annoyed that I called and said "that's the name they gave me" well that is not my name and I cant get on the plane. So she said she would "see if she could change it" ??!! Really? I paid $1500 for this vacation and you will see if you can change it? So she said she would call me back if there was an issue. I waited til the next day and logged into southwest airlines to find my name was still misspelled. I called back and Lupe was out of the office. I left a message with the nice lady who answered the phone who said Lupe would have to change it herself but was out of the office. Lupe called back while I was at work and left a very nasty voicemail saying "I told you I would call you if there was a problem and since I didn't call you, you should know it was changed but they will not issue a new itinerary" I checked again...in a few days - still the same. I called the person in our group who had made the reservation and she tried to work with Lupe who once again said she changed the name. 12 hours from my flight time I finally called southwest directly who changed the name in about 5 minutes. I would never recommend Odyssey travel. Obviously they are incompetent.

Feb 10, 2015

This was a group booking where the group leader provided all of the names of the persons traveling to one of our outside agents. When our office first hear that the client was unhappy, we checked with our agent who told us that she had contacted Southwest Vacations which was the tour operator and the name on the record was corrected and Southwest Airlines was notified to the corrected name. After we were contacted a second time, we verified the same information with Southwest Vacations. Southwest Vacations stated that new documents with the correct name were not needed since it was in both Southwest Vacations and Southwest Airlines reservations systems. This was explained to the client as standard operatiing procedure by the tour operators in the travel industry.

San Antonio, Texas

A lovely, welcoming city in south Texas, San Antonio offers its famed Riverwalk, complete with guided boat tours, loads of good restaurants and bars, and amazing opportunities for people-watching.  The downtown area is eminently walkable but also offers excellent public transport.  The Riverwalk is ever-expanding and now extends both north from the city center to the public library, art museums and beyond and south through the King William historic district. “Remember the Alamo” was the battle cry of Texans in their fight for independence.  Although the Alamo is the best-known, there are actually five missions within about twelve miles along the San Antonio River.   The southern four make up San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.  Each of the missions is very different from the others and offers a glimpse into mission life in southern Texas in the early 1700’s and is well worth a visit. Less than an hour’s drive from San Antonio are several interesting small towns such as Gruene, which boasts the oldest dance hall in Texas.  On the banks of the Guadalupe River, Gruene hosts an outstanding farmer’s/arts and crafts market on the third weekend of each month, February through October and is home to many boutiques and shops.

Trip to San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio

San Antonio , officially the  City of San Antonio , is a major city in south-central Texas with a rich colonial heritage. It is the seventh most populated city in the United States of America and the second most populated city in the state of Texas. It was the fastest growing of the top 10 largest cities in the United States from 2000 to 2010, and the second from 1990 to 2000. The city straddles Central Texas and South Texas and is on the southwestern corner of an urban mega region known as the  Texas Triangle .

San Antonio was named for Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is on June 13, by a 1691 Spanish expedition in the area. It is notable for Spanish colonial missions, the Alamo, the River Walk, the Tower of the Americas, the Alamo Bowl, and Marriage Island. The city is home to the five-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs and hosts the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the largest such events in the country.

The missions of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park along with the Alamo, became part of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites on July 5, 2015. The San Antonio Missions became the 23rd U.S. site on the World Heritage List, which includes the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty.

San Antonio to Salado: 5 cool history day trips that won't take you too far from Austin

W hen you fantasize about summertime day trips in Central Texas, dreams likely transport you to pools, lakes and swimming holes. Places to cool off.

There's another kind of day trip that can tickle the mind while soothing the body, if you know how do it right.

Of the dozens of day trip destinations within fairly easy reach of Austin, we picked these five historic spots to get your motors started.

Monument Hill in La Grange

(Round-trip drive time: 2 hours)

Perhaps you've noticed this high point while driving past La Grange on Texas 71. To the south rises a hill above the Colorado River that stands out like no other. Head there.

A Texas State Historic Site, elegiac Monument Hill is shaded by trees that are, at times, monuments in themselves.

The first order of business, then, might be a refreshing repast taken at one of the many discreetly spaced picnic tables. For my last visit, I picked up an enormous "Back Porch Sandwich" from  Back Porch BBQ , located at the crossroads of Texas 71 and U.S. 77.

One can find plenty of history and nature in this park. Recognized as a meditative spot early on, it was selected in 1848 as a cemetery for the Texans who died in the Dawson Massacre (1842), along with the dead of the Texan Santa Fe (1841) and Mier (1842) expeditions, and those captured during Gen. Adrián Woll's raid on San Antonio (1842).

You see, the 1840s was an unsettled decade for the new republic, as Mexico and Texas asserted their territorial claims without engaging in decisive battles. A soaring art-deco slab, decorated with some low-relief figures, was added to the renovated tomb for the dead of these conflicts in 1936 during the Texas Centennial.

To find out how the disputes were settled during the Mexican American War in the late 1840s, visit the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum for its current exhibit on the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo .

The hill hides some other historical treasures: A few dozen yards away, one finds the solidly built Kreische House, furnished and decorated with pieces that reflect how its residents lived during the mid-19th century.

In a low spot below the house sits the extensive remains of the Kreische Brewery, which can be seen from an elevated viewing point or fairly close-up, although with restrictions. (414 Texas 92 Spur, La Grange, thc.texas.gov/historic-sites/monument-hill )

Courthouse Square in Mason

(Round-trip drive time: 4 hours)

Mason is one of those Hill Country towns that has — so far — not been spoiled by overly curious tourists. The round-trip drive time — to and from this county seat — is longer than the other excursions recommended here, but the route through the rugged countryside is a treat in itself.

The chief magnet these days is the Mason County Courthouse , completely rebuilt in 2023 after an arsonist set the structure afire in 2021. For me, one of the reporting thrills of the past few years was to watch as a new dome was hoisted atop the courthouse, while practically the whole town cheered on all four sides of the long square, many of them protected from the elements by the generous shade structures positioned in front of older buildings.

This is not the only courthouse Mason County lost in a fire. The first, which stood on the northeast side of the courthouse grounds, also burned down.

"The first one burned on Jan. 21, 1877, during the Hoodoo War," said local historian Fran Hoerster in 2023. The extended conflict, sometimes called the Mason County War, was really a series of feuds and lynchings related to cattle rustling that sometimes pitted German Americans against Anglo Americans. "People rushed in to grab the land records. Got most of them. But we lost brand records, marriage records, probate records. We had to start all over again," Hoerster said.

"There was a second courthouse somewhere over there (pointing toward the western side of the courthouse grounds), but we don't know exactly where, from 1879 to 1909. It was torn down. This one was finished in 1910."

Mason supports two historical museums, one on the square, which displays one of the county's famous topazes. Another is a magnificent old rock schoolhouse; a pre-Civil War fort; a fine modern library with a permanent exhibit on  "Old Yeller" author Fred Gipson , a local; and a good deal of art.

There's plenty to eat and drink around the courthouse square. If you get a chance, visit the ornate Seaquist House; check for tour times and dates in advance.

Main Street in Bastrop

(Round-trip drive time: 1 hour)

Bastrop is not just an Austin suburb. That's a relatively recent role for this town that is older than Austin and fell a just few votes short of becoming the capital of Texas.

Not long ago, I explored the historic districts alongside Ken Kesselus, a Bastrop native, former mayor, retired Episcopalian pastor and community historian. Among the places we visited were Bastrop County African American Cultural Center, Bastrop Casino (an old German gathering place) and Calvary Episcopal Church.

More: Elgin bound: There's more than barbecue and bricks in this Texas town

The Museum and Visitors Center of the Bastrop County Historical Society (904 Main St.) is a good place to start. I wrote this about the excellent small museum: "Each display is clear, properly lighted and historically accurate, as far as I could surmise. Among others, two excellent exhibits cover the local coal industry, which I knew almost nothing about, and the cotton boom, which includes a map of the county's freedom colonies, with background about slavery and emancipation."

Kesselus and I shared a meal on the town's historic Main Street, which comes alive, especially on weekends in fair weather, and many buildings offer awnings or other shade devices. Several  newcomers have opened shops and restaurants  along this main stem. We lunched al fresco at Paw-Paw's Catfish House, which serves a fried, breaded catfish that is light as air and tender as a mother's love.

Stagecoach Inn in Salado

If you grew up in Texas, you remember this old landmark, now situated along Interstate 35 north of Austin, as an inn and eatery suspended in amber. For decades, nothing changed. Recently, it has undergone a series of improvements that make it 1) a luxury resort of sorts, 2) a gateway to the revived Salado arts and crafts district, 3) an even more authentic expression, to me, of its ancient origins.

More: 'Destination' hotel coming to historic strip of Fredericksburg, a Texas daytrip hotspot

I wrote this recently about the place: "Part of the existing complex above Salado Creek goes back to the 1860s, when it was a true stagecoach stop known as the Shady Villa Hotel. Its restaurant was founded in the 1940s and was known for its unchanging menu and staff. A nearby modernist motel rose next to the interregional highway during the 1950s; it, too, seemed trapped in amber. The next layer was laid down during the past decade: a  winningly reinvented restaurant  and a luxury hotel complex that tempts one to stay the night."

Note that the restaurant, which is surrounded by cooling greenery, has gone through a series of temporary name changes, but it will always be the Stagecoach Inn.

Pearl District in San Antonio

(Round-trip drive time: 3 hours)

I know, I know, Interstate 35. How do you get around that monster of a freeway that becomes a psychological barrier to visiting the other half of our quickly merging "mega-metro"? If you leave early on a weekend morning, at least the trip to SA is less stressful.

Once there, many of the historical attractions are readily at hand. One cluster of attractions downtown includes the Alamo campus, including the new Ralston Family Collections Center, the main plaza, with the San Fernando Cathedral and the Governor's Palace, along with, of course, the magical Riverwalk and its several historical destinations.

Another San Antonio historical jaunt requires a car in the summer, unless you were recently trained by the French Foreign Legion (see the 1999 movie "Beau Travail"): The Mission Trail south of downtown, which includes the other four 18th-century Spanish church complexes, each with its own discrete history. If you don't do it this time, do it later.

More: Meet me in San Austin: It's time to explore the idea of an Austin-San Antonio 'mega-metro'

To fully combine history and refreshment, perhaps head north of downtown to the Pearl District .

The centerpiece of the Pearl District these days is the luxury Hotel Emma embedded in the1894 building that once housed the San Antonio Brewers Association, which produced Pearl Beer. Opened in 2015, the hotel includes an elaborate lobby bar filled with elements of the structure's former industrial role, as well as carefully selected local eateries on the ground level. (Try any of them!)

Bundled around the plaza are an indoor food market, a thriving bookstore, new condos, a music venue situated in a round building that once served as a stable, a riverside amphitheater, and several more restaurants, one of them associated with the San Antonio base of the Culinary Institute of America.

Still sweating? Duck into one of these oases for a long siesta, or stroll down the extended Riverwalk to the old Lone Star brewery that became, in 1981, the stunning — and air-conditioned — San Antonio Museum of Art.

WEATHER ALERT

A heat advisory and a special weather statement in effect for 12 regions in the area

Bexar county’s new criminal case management system plagued with errors, missing information, odyssey launched on sunday has rough start as some cases showing up with incorrect or missing information.

Erica Hernandez , Courthouse Reporter

Misael Gomez , Photojournalist

SAN ANTONIO – A system that was supposed to modernize the way the county deals with criminal cases has rolled out with many problems.

Odyssey Case Manager was rolled out on May 30, but courtrooms are finding that case information is difficult to obtain and, in some cases, inaccurate.

Odyssey replaces the old system that hadn’t been updated in over 50 years.

The new software will allow all departments involved in a criminal case to access a case file and update and input information as it develops.

This week, complaints started pouring into KSAT 12 about errors, missing information and mistakes in files.

“When you’re moving from a 1972 DOS system over into a modern-day web-based program, you can expect there’s going to be a lot of issues,” 379th District Court Judge Ron Rangel said.

Rangel, who was a part of the committee that helped acquire the new Odyssey system, said it was supposed to be rolled out a couple of years ago but there were complications.

Rangel said some of the issues he’s personally seen are cases being populated with no case numbers or any sort of documentation attached to them.

Attorney Bobby Barrera said defense attorneys are struggling to get information about their clients.

“So frustrations are — dismissed cases are showing active, cases where people have been acquitted, or showing they’re convicted,” Barrera said. “The computer at the same time shows they’re in jail when they’re on bond or shows they’re on bond when they’re in jail.”

Barrera said he understands glitches and problems when new systems are rolled out but said the county had almost four years to prepare for this.

“None of that affects the fact that a person’s constitutional rights are being violated by an unlawful detention,” Barrera said. “So while the issues are being worked out, it doesn’t help that person who’s sitting in jail for days when he’s supposed to have been released already. W hen you deal with a person’s liberty, the significance of having immediate access to information is paramount.”

KSAT 12 found a sexual assault case where a man was found not guilty by a jury, but the court record indicates a guilty verdict. That defendant’s attorney told KSAT 12 the case was expunged and shouldn’t be showing up at all.

Both Barrera and Rangel said that patience is going to be needed as the country tries to resolve the problems.

“It’s business as usual at the courthouse,” Rangel said. “It’s a matter of making sure that we work through these processes with some patience and communication.”
