If you enter the airport from the north side, use the credit card you used to rent your car, and you won't have to pay the toll.
Leaving the DFW airport to take the 635 loop north/eastbound, I found this route the easiest:
From rental car area, take your first right (out of car lot), first left, first right (at light), then left at light (at this light, there is a sign pointing you to turn right to pick up the 635. Do not turn right. Turn left instead. You will start to see signs for 635).
If you like Panera Bread (like I do!), there is one just west of highway 80 on a right-side exit while you are on the 635.
If you like ice coffee, the bartender at the Olive Garden on Greenville Ave (just off 635 loop eastbound from DFW) pours a mean one.
The Hampton Inn near the south entrance to DFW is nice and clean and easy accesible to the airport. The Fairfield Inn at the north side of DFW is skanky with limited parking.

Welcome, Travelers
I reminisced recently with fellow trainer Lisa about the scrumptious blackberry cobbler served at the Country Tavern in Kilgore, TX. As our conversation progressed, I wished aloud there was a Web site that posted trainer-tried-and-true information on restaurants, hotels, airport ins & outs, driving routes, and other tips on making our traveling lives easier.
I now propose this one: Trainers' Traveling Tips. It has no official affiliation to DTI. It's just something I'd like us, as a community of travelers, to be able to use to gather and give information to help each other out. If you know a shortcut from DFW to Longview, let us know. If you know a great server at a local restaurant, give us her name. If the traffic in Houston is bad between 8 a.m. and noon, give us the 4-1-1.
I think it would work nicely this way (if you have a better idea, try it and see how it plays out): Simply create a post for the city and state you want to tell us about, and write about it. If the city you want to write about already has a post, add a comment to that post. That way, we can keep the site organized by city.
If you want to post to the blog, you must have a blogger account; you can create one at blogspot.com. If you prefer not to create a blog account, please email me your information, and I will post it for you.
Thanks,
Danielle P
