Moving to Houston
« on: August 03, 2005, 02:28:29 PM »
Dnil, Sling,

Thursday, Friday or Saturday I'll be flying to Houston. We are going to fly cancer's nuclear medecine out of Hobby airport to McAllen/ Corpus 5 times a week.

I have no place to stay yet, and don't know a thing about Houston. All I know is that I have to start the route on Monday. I'm going to fly one of the cessna 210 there, with a bunch of spare underwares and see what's happening. Maybe in a couple of weeks, when I have time, I'll find a way to get my car/stuff brought from Los Angeles.:)

Since I'm in the US, I've lived in all the messed up placed: Los Angeles and roofing in it's semi-desertic climate, and Florida the sweat-o-matic swampland.

I always hated the heat, but it seems that's where i always end up. I guess I'm getting ready for Hell, freedomies don't go heaven:D

If you made it through Florida weather Houston wont be much different. The traffic may be as bad or even worse than some parts of LA. If you are single you will like the night life and the women.

Oddly enough I live fairly close to Hobby.  I actually live just a little north of Ellington, thats where I fly out of.  Plenty of fun stuff comes in and out of their all the time.  

Good thing is the airshow is in October so you wont miss it.  Bad thing is you are coming in August.  The heat and humidity here is disgusting this time of year.  I doubt you have experienced anything like it.  I have lived in many places and Houston+August makes hell look like the arctic.

It takes an hour to drive anywhere thats remotely fun so just plan that in with anything you do and coming from LA you already know spanish so you are set.

I'm right there with ya frenchy.  I don't think San Antonio is as bad as Houston but I'm moving from a dry heat to a nasty heat.

I've lived in Texas before so I know about the bugs.  Yes everything is bigger in texas.

Good luck to ya.

Welcome to Texas Freedomy! :D  Houston is like a combination of LA and Florida, traffic+heat*humidity.

Welcome to Texas, Frenchy. Sorry it's Houston.

There are a few good things about Houston. The women are incredibly hot and friendly and Galveston is nearby.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Frenchy,

What part of LA do you live in? I'm just curious.

PS If you live in these parts of Los Angeles...

Watts
Compton
East L.A.
South (formerly South Central)
West Hollywood

i understand;)

imo L.A. is still the best city and im thinking about going back htere in the future.

stuff right near hobby might be kinda nasty to live in.  There is always pearland and friendswood though and across I-45 you have webster and clearlake.  Would be about a 20-30 minute drive from those places depending on the time of day.

oh and how do ya feel about exploding refineries?
