This day was a little bit weird. After a quiet and uneventful Friday, I was expecting a much better Saturday. We were going to see the Astros Play in the evening so I had good expectations. Well, I woke up kinda late and I went to the same cyber cafe that I reviewed for the previous day. My car sta…

What a terrific time we had with the Behans!  I just delivered them to the airport and truly feel sad that we will not see them for a long time.   They are such wonderful people who have become dear friends.  It was also hard knowing that this really was the end of our journey…

Well, the friends I made in the NOLA airport weren't flying to Lima with me... So I just said goodbye to them and went to look for my gate. The flight would be a long one. I was just hoping it wouldn't be crowded.I arrived to the gate and there were a lot of people. Ok, the flight would be full. I …

The flight was ok. The guys next to me were from Costa Rica, but we didn't talk much, just at the end, haha. I was sleepy and took a nap, hehe. Anyway I woke up on time to chat with them a bit and they helped me with my carry on bag ;)It took me long to leave the plain, uffff. I was thinking I had …

Up bright and early to be sure to get some breakfast before we are off to the Johnson Space Center. It’s nothing special, but waffles, juice, a hard-boiled egg and a small sweet roll. That should last until lunch. I wanted to get to the Space Center when they opened so we wouldn’t have to wait …

I had a one hour layover in Houston, Texas after a two and a half hour flight from Tucson. I must say I loved the airport more than I thought I would. It was busier or looked much busier than Dallas Fort worth airport through which I transit more often. It was a rather cloud fil…

Lhea contacted me some months ago, when I posted I'd have a layover in Houston. Unfortunately we weren't able to meet, but it didn't mean we didn't keep in touch. This time I was having 3 layovers in Houston, 2 of them would be short ones, but 1 would be a long one. So, it'd give me time to meet TB…

So! is it time for my rant concerning travel, pain and fear, amid the Extreme Unfunniness of Texas?yes i believe it is.that journey was.. not one of my more zen travel experiencesthe first leg went well, on a transatlantic flight with no one on it, i built myself a comfy palace out of cushions righ…

Nothing special on my last day in Texas. Britt and I went to a restaurant, I found there a plate of pasta named Corsica ! Unusual :)I took my plane at about 6 pm, leaving Texas and Britt and coming back to California !http://california.figatellix.com/47-texas-post-resume-du-week-end-texan.php

This was our hotel we stayed at when Jean-Noel and I met up in Houston. I like the place and I am sure you will too.

So on a spur of the moment idea, the three hobos and our aunt decided to go to NASA in Houston. The drive was interesting, but mostly because we were finding the funny things along the highway. One good shot was a Mexican riding in the back of a pickup at 80mph, dont judge - three Florida boy…

When hurricane Rita was going to hit Texas in Sep2005, we were told to evacuate Houston. I called so many hotels but none of them were available during that period. We decided just to drive out of Houston. It was a nightmare because everyone was trying to get out; we took 14hours to reach Centervil…

Chris, (Trollik) joined TravBuddy on July 13th and from his profile picture you can tell he loves to visit historic sites.  You get to see him, a wonderful set of ruins and the sky and clouds, which made this shot exceptionally nice.  In looking at it I thought I might be able to make the…

Houston was my second stop during this travel and I met a new TB :) This time was in Houston. As soon as I got the confirmation I would be able to stay at least for some hours in Houston, I tried to get some tips from the TB members. Although Duane just joined the site, he offered to help me and sh…

Hey, I'm in Houston and it's on the next leg of my journey. I'll be on Continental Airlines Flight 1767 from Houston to Seattle.  I have an hour and a half wait before I board. It will give me time to use the bathroom and stretch my legs before the five hour flight. First Class was fantastic…
