yes. South Padre Island, Texas is World class, especially in the Spring.
AA gets u to houston, then connect to Brownsville, Harlingen (valley international), or McAllen and drive / shuttle to the Island.
a rental car is nice but you dont even need one: $6 taxis anywhere, plus free shuttles up and down the Island, wicked surf downwinders and epic flatwater.
