What are the chances? The hotel has three floors and ~ 20 rooms to a floor - that's 60 rooms - and I find myself in the same room.
I once more find myself in the land of BBQ and frontage roads, yes, Houston. I did a better job this time of trying to go out and enjoy myself, its not like I paid for this trip. I faced many a peril, including a 7pm traffic jam and the city's bizarre system of one way frontage roads. However, I did manage to dine on tasty squid for dinner, have a Guinness, and enjoy the local bar scene (such as it was; tales and reviews to follow).
Sometimes being a single young engineer working for big business has its perks. And you only have one life, so you better enjoy what you can, when you can!
