Especially if you come over from far away, you may enjoy a few extra days to adjust to the time zone and see the surrounding area. I've been seven times in Texas to various conferences and so I can give you a few ideas on what you could do.

If you go to downtown Austin, you can visit the capitol, enjoy a few drinks at the bars in sixth street.

At sunset you can see a lot of bats flying out of the Congress Avenue bridge. It's amazing to see.
