The Miami to Dallas Trip is well worth it, you'll have fun no matter what. This trip is part of a moduled trip that has a much longer adventure, this particular trip is the first half of a much longer adventure which I'd suggest on taking if you are able to take it.
Contiki did a great job on curating a perfect iterinary and planned dinners and the Trip leader I had was amazing and really made sure to go that extra mile along with the Driver who was more than happy on driving our group around.
I will highly advise on doing all the free time add-ons and working with your tour guide on coordinating with your group on spontaneous adventures too like rodeos and unplanned adventures.
You'll make friends and for sure you'll have a great adventure!
