Trip Summary
Business trip to Houston, Texas.
Best Bits
Spending the week eating quality Mexican and BBQ food!
Worst Bits
Be prepared to drive everywhere! It’s not a walking town, and is very spread out.
Trip Dates and Comments on Timing
June — It’s hot in Houston in June, but still bearable.
Arrival Logistics
Landed at Bush airport, and took a taxi to the Houstonian Hotel
General Route
Sunday at the hotel to recover from jetlag, then business meetings all week, flying back out on Friday.
Main Activities
Sport and Exercise, Shopping, Food.
Food and Drink Highlights
Ate Mexican at El Tiempo (casual, fun, good food), Hugo (higher end, great food) and Pico (more Mexican than Texmex, great margaritas). At Cajun at Ragin’ Cajun (lots of character, very informal and rustic, worth a trip), and BBQ at Gatlins (fantastic food, great staff. Place itself is new, so lacks a bit of character, but still loved it).
Essential Packing for this Trip
Sunscreen, your Uber app (taxis aren’t so great, Uber is everywhere).
What Lyndon got up to…
Busy work days every day, and then heading out in the evenings to enjoy Texan cuisine. The Texans are a warm bunch, and very happy to give recommendations on things to do/places to eat. Also visited the Museum Of Natural Science on the weekend, which I’d recommend.

It’s a dealbreaker when I’m stuck around large groups of package tourists.
