Going to Austin for F1 race in October for the first time. Race is Friday-Sunday. Planning on staying and checking out Austin Monday and Tuesday. I’m on vacation 5 more days (thru sunday). Should I do hill country and San Antonio? Fly to Mexico? Thanks for any suggestions! And if you have race suggestions let me know!

I would say make sure you do the Hill Country at least one day! Fredericksburg is beautiful! If you need recs, let me know. I’m from San Antonio so of course I’m partial to it! LOL. Lots of culture and good Mexican food here.

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.
