Westheimer Rd.
by kd_baby
This entire area is nothing but eye candy. If the beautiful girls aren't killin' ya, it's all the beautiful scenery from the surrounding architecture. Heck, even the street signs and lights are fancy!
Drive around Westheimer and Richmond Ave. (West of I-610)
U.S. Airways
by LaceyAdkisson
Going From Houston to Texas I flew U.S. Airways. I was actually optimistic going in to this flight, thinking they are sometimes pricey so must have a good airplane. I was WRONG it was the worst flight I've ever been on! It was a very small plane with two seats on either side. Like 50% of the plane I was in the isle, and lets just say the man next to me was not small. This was a 6am flight which mean I was trying to sleep, anyone and everyone that needed to get up to use the restroom, stretch their legs or flight attendant serving drinks, they would hit me every time they walked by and it would waken me from my awkward sleep position.
Once the flight landed 3 LONG hours later it was time to switch planes. But the time I landed was the time I was suppose to board my next flight! And the flight attendant had put more than half of the planes bags underneath since the cargo was so small and we all had to wait 20 min to get our carry on and RUN to the next terminal. It was all the way on the other side of the airport! I barely made my flight.
U.S. Airways is by far the worst airlines I've ever traveled with.
Bleech!

My doctor recommended the dim sum at Kim Son in Sugarland. I am never listening to him again.
The food was simply bland. It was quite large portions, but there was no flavor. Also there was a very limited selection.

San Jacinto Battleground & Monument
by H-TownJourneyman
Located just east of Houston near the town of LaPorte, the San Jacinto Monument stands in the location where in 1836 Texas won it's independence from Mexico, and became a republic until 1845 when it joined the United States. The famous battle cry "Remember the Alamo" was yelled here by the Texas Army, under the command of General Sam Houston, after the valiant but tragic loss earlier in San Antonio. On the morning of April 21, 1836, the Texas Army surprised the Mexican Army, swept in, and killed 600 Mexican soldiers, while suffering only 9 casualties themselves. Now the monument that stands here is one of the proudest symbols in all of Texas. Completed in 1939, and standing at 570 feet, the structure is the tallest monument tower in the world. It's lone star atop it gives the monument a definative Texan feel. There is an observation deck at the top, and an extremely fast elevator takes you up. My ears pop everytime I go up it as the elevator is moving at such a high rate of speed! With such historical significance, this is most certainly a must see while in the Houston area!
