After 3 planes & 20+ hours later, I found myself in Houston, Texas via San Francisco. Houston is actually the 4th biggest city in USA. With this visit, I would have seen 3 of the 4 biggest cities, the other 2 being New York & Los Angeles. What is left is Chicago.
I'm here for 2 weeks on business so I have time during the weekend to explore. The hotel I'm staying at is quite nice. It's called Homewood Suites belonging to the Hilton group. It is not a hotel per se as all the rooms are suites. The bedroom is separated from the living area & kitchen so it is very spacious. There are 2 TV in there just in case you need to really catch up on your television fix. The kitchen has the whole enchilada, e.g. microwave, fridge, dishwasher & coffee maker.
You could really put a whole family in here. The living area has a nice couch to relax on. Some paintings on the wall to complete the experience.
The bedroom is cool too. They had like 6 pillows! And they are all nice & comfy. To wake you up in the morning, they provided a radio alarm clock with preset channels which was pretty nice. The bathroom and wash area is roomy. Lots of space for doing what you need to do.
Breakfast was neat. They have a DIY pancake corner, a decent selection of pastries & muffins, breads and hot selections like omelette, crepes & sausages. OJ, apple juice, coffee & tea is of course served too. In fact, they provide a small dinner which is complimentary. This is to make up for the lack of a restaurant within the hotel grounds. But as I found out, it did not matter. We are next to Willowbrook Mall, Sears, JC Penny and a short drive away from Wal-Mart. There's probably also 10+ restaurants around the area including BJ's, Kirin, Sweet Tomotoes, Chili's, Olive Garden etc. You'll definitely not go hungry here.
Looks like a weight gain is imminent.
