I've checked into NASA, the museum and tour are not recommended. Apparently due to budget, the place has gotten run down. Lots of non-functional displays.

That's sad to hear, and it's only going to get worse I'm afraid.

Only place in Teaxs I went to was IAH.. the airport Sad had a video editing job to do... it was so stupid how my boss did it but I guess it was cheaper..

I flew from LGA to IAH, then to SEA...

then a a month later I flew from SEA to LGA lol direct flight, it was cool they had the plane info on the Screens.

it was -85F outside and we did Mach .90 lol and a speed of like 564Mph or something like that.

I wrote it down in my notebook.

Never been to Texas before.

Would like to go one day.

As dochira said, I'd probably like to go to visit NASA if I did go there. That's all I can think about right now.
Oh yeah, maybe you can visit the alamo. (IDK, Is it in Houston?)

It's in San Antonio, about 4-5 hours west of Houston, I believe.

They're putting me up at a nice hotel in downtown Houston.

Paid for an extra plane ticket, so my GF's coming with me for this trip.

If your posse can recommend any good spots, send them along. Dancing

I'm confused, why would I want to bring gas back to California? Right now, due to Katrina, California has cheaper gas than the South since California has it's own refineries, oil fields, and offshore rigs.

It's going to be hot in Houston during the daytime, like 95F. Sweat

I just checked gaspricewatch.com for prices in Houston. The prevailing rate is around $2.89, which would be slightly cheaper that the $2.99-3.09 prices I see here.
