Day 1

We are back in Austin to shoot for the series. Last time I was here was probably over four years ago when we featured Hotel San Jose and The Driskill in Great Hotels. We tried to stay in the Hotel San Jose, as it's one of my favorites, but the Hot Rod and Custom Car show is in town, and there's not a room to be had.
