pettie4sox Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I wasn't sure if there was a thread for this already, but if there is, I'm sure a mod will bring swift justice. I'm going to Houston next weekend. Has anyone been there before? If so, what recommendations do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Houston, but it was 17 years ago. Johnson Space Center was pretty cool. Not sure if you can still go in the Astrodome, but that is a pretty impressive place.

There's a bunch...you'll be able to find what speaks to you in particular just by walking around. I liked Cyclone Anaya's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Johnson Space Center is well worth the trip. If you go that way, take the extra half hour drive and spend a day on Galveston Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack lightly and small, since most will carry on to avoid fees the overhead compartments fill up quickly (they will charge you to check if they run out of space). And be prepared for delays/cancellations. All this has happened to my roommate flying them. I'm going to IU and UM this weekend on some campus chapter visits, first time in that area of Indiana and going back to Ann Arbor for the 2nd time since I moved 5 years ago, should be fun/exhausting.

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Spirit is an absolutely miserable airlines. But they shouldn't charge you if it's them who run out of room. At least they didn't to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't beat the price but expect to get charged for any possible luxury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
