It's just a DREAM - TxTeach79's LIVE Dream 7/15 - Yeehaw!

[TxTeach79]

Headed up! It was very hectic down there and not all the rooms are ready. I got lucky. Fella checking everyone in was a bit ornery so I decided to wait on the parking question til it dies down a bit or there’s a shift change….

 

[TxTeach79]

In the end, those two pockets of Houston traffic weren’t too bad at all. I ended up pulling in right on time based on Apple Maps. Made that drive a hundred times, and that was easy as it’s ever been.

We know your route well coming from North Texas ourselves. But that traffic after the break was seriously crazy!!

Hugs from the oven!!!

[TxTeach79]

Some shots of the room, second floor end of hall. Smallish, but comfortable and modern. this should do juuuuust fine.

you aren’t kidding about that oven part. Holy cow! I think I’m gonna pass on a pool/beach afternoon. Plenty of that where I’m headed.

Best feature - no Governor on the AC. Let’s blast this puppy down and build a frosty base 

 

[TxTeach79]

Okay, so there’s barely functional cell service in the room and I didn’t get the wifi password at the front desk (there’s no info binder or anything in here) so I’m gonna just go back down now and do that and handle the parking and hope for the best. 

[TxTeach79]

Bar isn’t open…. Yet. In line for the front desk

She’s headed back, Vista and Voyager OTS right behind her. 
 

[TxTeach79]

Looks like we got our first big win - dude didn’t even ask me my cruise dates. Just had me fill out a form with vehicle info and told me where to park before I leave. Score.

I remember when La Quinta was in the same category as Motel 6. "By Wyndham" sounds so fancy!

to me, I remember it as the classic Spanish saying translating to “Denny’s next door”

Reserved an Uber for the morning since I know it’ll be a little nuts with three ships in. Let’s see if this works out better than it did in Barcelona.

I live in Houston, the only time those two pockets don't have traffic is about 1-5 AM lol

Speaking of Barcelona, IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Woody’s of Centerville has been my midway to Houston stop for 25 years 

 

 

 

 

Hmmmm Galveston is my home port and never heard of this, good to know. Especially since I'm not a big fan of Buccees.

[TxTeach79]

Headed down the 2nd floor hallway

I know Buccees became the big deal and went National, but old school TX road trippers know….

 

I MUCH prefer Woody’s than Buc-ees.

Exit 164 in Centerville.

Did the airline ever reach out to you about your luggage?

[TxTeach79]

Lobby shots. Free coffee and tons of plugs/USBs everywhere.

Look….. I wasn’t kidding when I said this was gonna be lazy, do what I want, take it easy who cares all the way through. Welcome aboard, baby

Normally my pre cruise staple here is the always fantastic Gaido’s on Seawall….
