❌ From things that can trigger alarms or even get you a warning from the crew, there are a few cabin rules every cruiser should know.

Here are 10 things you should never do in your cruise cabin

Greetings from the dusty trail, my intrepid explorer!You’ve reached out to the right Silly Creature. I’ve trekked from the peaks of the Himalayas to the world's largest ball of twine, and I must say, your sights are set on a true Texas treasure. The Float Inn in New Braunfels isn't just a place to lay your head; it’s a front-row seat to the organized chaos and liquid joy of the Comal River.

Here is my "Uncle Traveling Matt" advisory for your expedition to the Texas Hill Country. 🛶 The Vibe: Riverfront Front-Row, The Float Inn is the "prime real estate" of New Braunfels. It sits directly overlooking the Comal River, specifically right above the famous Tube Chute. The Energy: During the summer, this is "Party Central." If you enjoy people-watching, you'll see thousands of tubers navigating (and occasionally tumbling through) the chute. The Proximity: You are steps away from Prince Solms Park. You don’t need a shuttle; you just need your flip-flops and a sense of adventure.📍 Local Intelligence: Know Before You Go! As an advisor who has seen it all, I must warn you—New Braunfels has rules that are as strict as a Fraggle Rock deadline! The "Can Ban": You cannot have "disposable" containers on the river. No cans, no glass, no plastic water bottles, and no Ziploc bags. Bring a sturdy, reusable insulated mug (like a Yeti). The Tube Chute Factor: The water at the chute is fast. If you aren't a strong swimmer, wear a vest. I’ve seen many a hat and pair of sunglasses sacrificed to the River Gods there. Parking is Gold: Parking in New Braunfels during peak season is more difficult than finding a Doozer who doesn't like to work. The Float Inn provides parking, which is arguably worth the price of the room alone.
🍔 Beyond the River: Matt’s Must-Dos! Don't spend your whole trip in the water! My research into the "Silly Creatures" of Texas suggests these stops are mandatory:
Naegelin’s Bakery: The oldest bakery in Texas. Grab a bear claw or some strudel; it’s fuel for your floating.Gruene Hall: A short drive away. It’s the oldest dance hall in Texas. Even if you have two left feet, the history is palpable.
Landa Park: If the river crowds get too thick, walk over to Landa Park for the miniature train and the ancient "Founders Oak" tree.

What to Expect? Uncle Matt's Tips
Noise LevelHigh (Daytime) / Moderate (Night)Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper; the river party starts early!
Water Temp A constant 72°F (22°C) It feels chilly at first, but it's perfect when the Texas sun is at 100 degrees.
Gear Reusable Everything:
They will check your cooler. Be "River Legal."Pro Tip: If you want a quieter experience, try to book mid-week. Tuesday through Thursday feels like a completely different world compared to the Saturday madness!

Yes, folks that is a vending machine with pecan pies in it for after hours munchies. I love this place.
If you find yourself driving down Highway 71 in Texas at 3:00 AM with an urgent need for a whole homemade pie, you're in luck. The Berdoll Pecan Candy & Gift Company is famous for hosting what is widely considered the world's only 24-hour pecan pie vending machine.
​🥧 What’s in the Machine?
​While the machine is most famous for its full-sized pecan pies, it’s a one-stop shop for late-night sugar cravings.
​Signature Items: Traditional Pecan Pie, Chocolate Pecan Pie, and No-Sugar-Added options.
​Other Treats: Chocolate-covered pecans, honey-glazed pecans, "Rodeo Mix," and even beef jerky.
​Pricing: Pies usually range from $20 to $30, depending on the variety and current market prices.
​📍 Where to Find Them
​There are currently two primary locations for these machines:
​Cedar Creek (The Main Hub): Located right in front of the retail store at 2626 State Hwy 71 W, Cedar Creek, TX. You can't miss it—it's guarded by Ms. Pearl, a 14-foot-tall squirrel statue.
​West Lake Hills / Austin: A second machine is located at 3652 Bee Caves Road, Austin, TX (tucked between a Walgreens and Twin Liquors).
​💡 Fun Facts
​Restocked Daily: To keep things fresh, the machines are restocked every morning. During the peak holiday season (November and December), the demand is so high they are often restocked at midnight.
​Candid Camera: The owners have mentioned in interviews that they enjoy checking the surveillance footage because they often catch customers doing "happy dances" in the parking lot after successfully snagging a 2:00 AM pie.
​Payment: The modern machines are high-tech—they accept cash, credit cards, and mobile payments like Apple Pay.
​Would you like me to find the current store hours for the Cedar Creek location or help you calculate shipping if you're looking to order a pie online?

Excellent tacos, well worth the drive. There are a few popular "Letty’s" in the Texas taco scene, but since you were just asking about the Berdoll vending machine (near Austin/Bastrop), you’re likely thinking of the local favorite in Del Valle.
​Here is the breakdown of the most common "Letty's" spots so you can find the right one:
​1. Letty’s Tacos (Del Valle / Austin)
​This is the "hidden gem" spot most locals talk about. It is located right off Highway 71, not far from the airport and the Berdoll vending machine area.
​Location: 316 Mesa Dr, Del Valle, TX 78617.
​Known For: Massive breakfast tacos, Brisket Tacos, and authentic Menudo on weekends.
​Vibe: Very casual, "hole-in-the-wall" feel with handmade tortillas that people swear by.
​2. Letty’s Tacos (Austin - Howard Ln)
​A more recent expansion/location further north.
​Location: 1310 W Howard Ln, Austin, TX 78728.
​Known For: Street tacos (Al Pastor, Barbacoa) and high-quality fish/shrimp tacos. They also have a dedicated mobile app for ordering.
​3. Letty’s Authentic Mexican Cocina (Humble / Houston)
​If you are closer to the Houston area, this is a more "sit-down," upscale version of the brand.
​Location: 1005 1st St E, Humble, TX 77338.
​Known For: Quesabirria, Chicharron Carnudo (crunchy pork belly), and a beautiful, colorful interior. It's more of a full-service restaurant than a quick taco stand.
​4. Letty’s de Leticia’s Cocina (Las Vegas)
​Just in case you're traveling, there is a very famous "Letty’s" in the Las Vegas Arts District known for "Quesatacos" and Mexican street food.
​Are you looking for the menu for the Del Valle location, or would you like me to find the best route from the Berdoll vending machine to Letty's?
