Houston's an easy place to get into, lots of cowboy things and generally an easy pace
of life.
Things you must do
- Visit the Galleria Shopping centre (with an indoor Ice Rink)
- Have a Texan meal (lots of beans, meat and more meat)
- Go to the Houston Space Centre
- Try and go to Galveston (not tried myself but everyone says it's nice)

Restaurants
Hotels
- Houston's, Willcrest and Westheimer, (T:(713) 780 4699).
Really nice restaurant mostly specialising in grills (burgers/steaks etc). Nice
atmosphere, great portions. Make sure to try the mash. ;-) No bookings taken but there is
a nice bar to wait in.
- Las Alamedas, 8615 Katy Freeway (on Voss & I10), Houston, TX
77024 (T: (713) 461 1503, F: (713) 461 8635). Very excellent Mexican restaurant with
nice setting and good vibe. Booking strongly recommended.
- The Cheesecake Factory, Galleria III, 2nd Floor (above ice rink),
Houston TX 77056 (T: (713) 840 0600, F: (713) 840 1080). This has to be one of the
great chains! 20-odd page menu with huge dishes. Everything is good and if you make it to
the deserts then we'll be impressed! Booking strongly recommended or expect an average 30
minute wait (and you get a little bleeper thing so you can look in the Galleria shops
while you wait for your table.

???, F: ??). Nice cosy flats, easy parking and outdoor pool which is quite nice. Very
easy going.
